They will not let me take it to play. especially after I showed up with golf balls to put down the barrel. I was curious how far up calumet avenue they would get when launched from fisher st.

Jedi, if you were a little taller and a little heavier, you would fit the description of the perp. It's probably you people coming down here.

Radioshack... Well.. eh.

Scanner Master - Police Scanners by Uniden Bearcat, AOR and Radio Shack.

I like the Uniden brands. Anything that covers 137-174MHz will enable you to listen to 99% of the fire and police departments around NWI.

the 1% is Hammond/EC which use a trunked network on 800MHz, and the state police who also use a trunked (and digital) network at 800MHz.

Repeter was clearly photoshoped into those pics.

He actually cleans up once in a while.
Amazing what a shower and shave will do.

Waiting for him to find this thread.

Try this, there's an app for it too.

I got pulled over a while back. I almost tuned in to hear him run me. That may have pissed him off though. He let me go.

You need an FCC ham license to have a scanner on your person (giggedy) or your car.

That includes those apps (which are crap because they rely on the data network).

A $50 radio will allow you to listen to the Five-oh in most towns around here. **** I'll even program it for anyone who doesn't know how.

And yes the group buy radios we had a while back work just fine for that.

Maybe I was wearing Bob's 60s platform shoes and stuffed my pants with a pillow or two.

FYI.. It's illegal to have a police scanner in your car if you DO NOT have a HAM Radio license from the FCC.

Police scanner apps illegal in Indiana - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

Well you can always buy one for the house, have it next to your PC & listen while you are online.

 

[Wild Deuce]

Hey, the way it reads, it's only illegal if you use the radio during the commision of a crime.

(10) a person who possesses or uses a police radio during the normal course of the person's lawful business.

This also seems to absolve you since the phrase used is "possesses or uses" as opposed to "possesses and uses."

Just go get your HAM license already!
U do like right?

As used in this section, "police radio" means a radio that is capable of sending or receiving signals transmitted on frequencies assigned by the Federal Communications Commission for police emergency purposes and that:

A phone with an app does not operate in the frequencies assigned by the Federal Communications Commission for police emergency purposes and that...
It operates on the frequencies assigned by the FCC for cell phones.

There is grey area here, not that I want to be the test case, but I don't think it would stand up in a court of law.

EDIT: Plus, the cited source is the police. Since when did they correctly interpret law? That's what courts are for.
