I had already used a Uniden handheld BC95XLT frequency scanner —the one with the NASCAR logo on it. Yes, it works—even to this day! But for that 2011 trip, I had written a C# .NET program that allowed me to use my Bluetooth dongle ( yup, this was way back in the old days ), and surprisingly, I could scan the ISM frequencies! That’s t...
