who has a police scanner??
    #22030146 - 08/01/15 07:12 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I'm thinking about purchasing a police scanner and was wondering if anyone has a decent digital one can recommend.

Prefer a home unit that I can tune in whenever I'm bored.

Why not use a free phone app ? It has access to all the police / ems / fire fighters channels around the world and can be used on the go if needed. A lot cheaper too as you would need a good antenna if you are to far away from the relay tower.

I do not have a smart phone is the only hang up with that plan...

Good idea though for sure. I'm also curious if any departments can have like a secured "line"

The police department in my area defiantly has a secure line for running plates / peoples info but most of the other calls are on digital, the old analog scanners no longer are able to pick it up. I have a analog one with a decoder chip for digital as well, but i no longer have it set up instead i use my computer or phone.

1 example is : http://tunein.com/radio/Scanners-g257/

You can find many more by googling online police scanner.

Depends on the department. My scanners are all 20+ years old, and many switched to encrypted digital frequencies, but many didn't.

Apparently it's illegal to possess scanners outside of your home in 5 states. My dad and I didn't know this, and he was just arrested and actually taken to jail in Kentucky last week for having a scanner in his truck that didn't even have any police frequencies programmed into it. Fucking overregulations..

Over here in australia its legal to have them installed in your truck / car but if pulled over with drugs / weapons it can be added to your charges in some way. Weird laws :shrug:
