You would have to set up a scan range between 2 frequencies, more than likely UHF and scan for a few hours until you come across the freq.

Unless you are really lucky, it will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack as to which frequency they are operating on.

Ideally what you need is a RF frequency counter/sniffer or a Bearcat 72XLT scanner with close call. When close to a radio transmitting, the sniffer/scanner locks onto the frequency.

Good luck.
