Northwest Indiana Scanner Frequencies
(10-8-2012) I have not updated this list in years nor do I have time or desire to do so. A lot of the information is still obviously correct so I'm leaving it up. I recommend using the RadioReference.com website for the most up to date scanner info.
Last updated April 21, 2006. New/Changed information since last update (2-21-06) is in Green.
