Do you use...?

I don't have a scanner. When I was young my grandma had one and she always had it on. I loved to listen to it, I didn't now you could still listen to them. I thought they changed the scanners and regular people couldn't hear what went on anymore. Are the scanners very expensive? I wouldn't mind having one.

used to have a cobra then we had to move in the middle of winter and the antenna was froze to the ground and the fence we left it behind but it was fun

I bet that wold be interesting, I have heard people talk about them, No, I have never had one, but I bet it would be fun to have. Sounds like you get all the imformation.

I'm in a volunteer fire dept., so I have a good one..lol. Even before I got involved in FireFighting I had a scanner, have always been interested in that type stuff.

No i dont have a police scanner.I didnt know that they are available for public too.Where do you live.How much did it cost you.Do you think it will be available in india for public.It really seems to be a very interesting thing.

I don't own a police scanner, but I would like to..I have heard mom's and some pretty interesting things come across, like fires, accidents, or any thing the police or fire crew are called for. Someday I will get one...

my boyfriend has police scanner and listen to it everyday and night .

I do have a scanner, but we don't listen to it much. We turn it on mostly when there is storm warnings out.

I've used a scanner for many years as well. But now the signals are going digital and I have to get a scanner that will pick up the digital signal. My scanner is an older model. Photo attatched. I mostly enjoy the ham radio frequencies to listen to. But there is all the service vehicles of various cities and counties that alert me to road conditions etc. Plus it also carries the weather channel to alert me to severe weather etc. I also pick up the airport frequencies listening to the tower and pilots as far as take offs and landing etc. Scanners are very interesting and lots of fun as well. I even have frequencies for NASA during Shuttle flights which is really cool to listen to. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~ HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

There is one going here all the time. I do fing it somewhat interesting to hear all the "goings on" in the county. Other times it worries me because I'll hear of an accident on a road I know a family member might be travelling on at that time....then I end up worried until I hear from them.

I have never owned one, but the way you explain it makes me want to get one. I am by nature a very nosy person lol. Listening to a police scanner, especially in my city, could prove to be very interesting, and useful for the weather and traffic reports as well.

Of course I'm listening to my right now, as it is on my computer stand. I listen to mine 24/7. Call me nosy, but I like to know everything that is going on everywhere around me. I have all the PD's, the taxi's, the school busses, insides the jails, ambulances, hospital's, the city,anything you can think of, it is on my scanner lol. I love my scanner. I even take it to work with me most days.

I never owned one myself but when my Dad had his CB he also had a police scanner and had that thing on 24/7! He loved it.
