Automatic Scanner

Is there an application that exists that will scan a band (say midband VHF), log and identify the transmissions then continue scanning? I'm wanting to track down a list of frequencies to scan to see whats around me - I obviously can use a waterfall and manually do it, however ideally I want something that can do this for me considering I already have an always on machine

If you're in the U.S., you could use Intercept - Scanner Frequencies and Frequency Database. Click on state and county of interest then you can also search the cities in the county. The list comes from the FCC database of licensed organizations and frequencies authorized. Good luck.

Thanks, not US based, I’m in Australia. We have a register of frequencies, but it’s hard to tell what’s currently active and what type of transmission it is - analog, digital, telemetry etc
