I bought the FCC microfiche listings of the licensees on file as of
January/February 1984.  It is a tremendous source of information
for those of who listen to scanners; however, it uses a two letter
FCC service code and I do not have the key to the code.  The Radio Shack
"Police Call Radio Directory" lists some of these codes, as shown
below:
      Code - Meaning
	AA
	AF
	BA - Remote Broadcast Pickup (radio & TV stations)
	BF
	BS
	CA - General Mobile Radio Service
	CB - Citizens Band (class D)
	CC - Citizens BAnd (class C)
	CD
	IB - Business
	IF - Forest Products
	IM - Motion Picture Industry
	IP - Petroleum Industry
	IS - Special Industrial (construction, farming, etc.)
	IT - Telephone Maintenance
	IW - Power and Water Utilities
	IX - Manufacturers
	IY - Relay Press (newspaper reporters)
	LA - Automotive Emergency (tow trucks)
	LJ - Motor Carrier, Trucks
	LR - Railroad
	LU - Motor Carrier, Buses
	LV
	LX - Taxi
	MC - Maritime Limited Coast (private stations)
	MG - Maritime Government (Coast Guard)
	MP - Maritime Public Coast (marine telephone)
	MS - Maritime Shipboard
	PF - Fire
	PH
	PL - Local Government

	PP - Police
	PS - Special Emergency
	RA - Mobile Telephone, Aircraft

If anyone on the net knows the meaning of any of the above codes with
blank meanings, or how to get a complete listing of codes and meanings,
please mail me what ever information you have.

Thanks.
