The freq is 111.6, however when I dial it in I get static. I even tried it out at the airport, but I still had static which a few short, faint blips of the recording coming through the static.
Do I need a special scanner to be able to get this frequency clearly? Shouldn't I be able to get this freq to come through miles away from the airport?
