The major limiting factor—but not a total deal killer—is that FreqFinder uses published tables from the FCC for existing freqs in use by licensed transmitting stations. It is not a scanner and will not give you a full picture of what is happening in your immediate area, and it is subject to the most current data from the government, which may or may not be as current as one imagines… Again, this is not bad, but it is a limiting factor, and users should be crystal clear on this before reliance in a mission critical use.
