My old desktop scanner has seen much better days. It is about ten years old so I shall not complain about it slowly dying lol So, I thought, what the heck, I should treat myself to a new scanner. Off to Ebay I went. I found, and bought, the scanner in the photo. A Realistic Pro-34 VHF 200 Channel Direct Entry thumbup
I used to have a handheld a long, long time ago, but it walked out of my house thanks to a relative and I didn't replace it. I always meant to replace it but found other things to spend my money on I guess. But now, it's time happy The scanner isn't new, but it was pretty well priced. I got it for forty bucks, including shipping!
How about you? Do you enjoy listening to the local police and fire departments? How about other things that can be heard on a scanner?

I enjoyed the scanner when a man was running naked somewhere where I live, that's all I can think of rasprasprasp


myLot reputation of 87/100. fwidman (5652)   ranked 1 out of 1 in police scanner  4 years ago

You would enjoy something as silly as that rasp Maybe with the next scanner I can find some more exciting frequencies for you to listen to thumbup

We have a scanner and it is on all the time.
I especially like it when we are going to get bad weather or if we are having a bad snow storm so I know about road closings and such, because we live out in the country.
It is really exciting because sometimes when the weather is clear I even pick up aircraft flying over and most always know if Life Starr is in the area.
It is my lifeline to the goings on in the community and surronding areas.


myLot reputation of 87/100. fwidman (5652)   ranked 1 out of 1 in police scanner  4 years ago

I often listen to the weather service, although the weather here usually isn't all that bad we do have days when the winds will be blowing at 50 MPH or higher and I like to know these things happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. OLIJULSAR (1063)  4 years ago

Yes I rely on ours alot in the summer. We usually have alot of tornado watch and warnings in the summer, so I like to keep up with what is going on.

I don't have a scanner. Is it like a kind of amateur radio? Once I had a handheld one but I had to sell it. I wanted to obtain an amateur radio license. At that time there was the introduction of the internet in my island and the fervor for the internet phenomena took over the amateur radio passion.

myLot reputation of 87/100. fwidman (5652)   ranked 1 out of 1 in police scanner  4 years ago

You should have gotten your amateur radio license my friend. I tried to do that a few times but am unable to comprehend morse code so I failed. But I can still listen to these folks talk and that can be interesting as well. The internet can be fun, but I cannot always be online, sometimes my wife and child want to be here and they leave me no choice but to leave the chair lol

Wow you did well at that price. I also bought a police scanner on Ebay but I paid over one hundred dollars which is still cheaper than I'd have to pay out here.


myLot reputation of 87/100. fwidman (5652)   ranked 1 out of 1 in police scanner  4 years ago

I saw a lot of scanners on Ebay at 100 dollars plus and yes they were still cheaper than going to a store. The one I bought is used but it was such a good price I had to take a chance at it happy

I chose a photo printer/scanner/copier. I liked the idea of all in one, I chose Epson, don't choose Epson if you ever get one of these. LOL! Although thebohemianheart has the same model and she's not had any problems with it yet.


myLot reputation of 87/100. fwidman (5652)   ranked 1 out of 1 in police scanner  4 years ago

I think I have an Epson scanner. It's about five years old and rarely ever used. But, it is the simple one, all it does is scan happy I have an HP printer and that too gets little use. Guess I am too busy pesteringpeople online to scan or print things confused

Hello, fwidman. It's a long time after which I'm back here, though I've constantly kept a check on your varying avatars, lol. Well, coming to your discussion, I really don't like the jarring sound of those police scanners. I have a lot of more soothing things to listen to. And it's not that so many interesting things usually go on in our city. So it'll be a wastage of money here.


myLot reputation of 87/100. fwidman (5652)   ranked 1 out of 1 in police scanner  4 years ago

The noise can be bothersome for some. I have been listening to radio noises since I was a kid so I guess they just don't annoy me anymore. Years ago, the scanner was fairly quiet around my city, but as the city has grown so has the crime. Be thankful hardly anything interesting happens where you live happy

We used to have a CB craze in England and so many people used to go on these things listening in to the police and emergency services they blocked the air waves and ruined the tv signal so nobody bothers anymore,I think you have to have a license in this country now for one of those.I have no interest in listening to the airwaves myself but if you do fair play.Glad to see you have got a scanner and at a good price as well.We have had a scanner for twelve years and shows no sign of packing up{touch wood}famous last words.


myLot reputation of 87/100. fwidman (5652)   ranked 1 out of 1 in police scanner  4 years ago

The CB craze was a disaster everywhere lol About the only thing you hear on CB these days is snotty teenagers so I gave that radio up lol

Try get one from http://www.techHighStreet.com check and compare the prices there. How about you even buy a Printer/Scanner that has high resolution and you can even go home and print your own images in good quality.


myLot reputation of 87/100. fwidman (5652)   ranked 1 out of 1 in police scanner  4 years ago

I already have a great scanner and printer so I thankfully don't need to replace those. Hope I don't for a long time happy

Never really listened to one. I remember having a CB when I was a kid but that's about as far as I went.


myLot reputation of 87/100. fwidman (5652)   ranked 1 out of 1 in police scanner  4 years ago

They're lots of fun to listen too, amazing the things that are going on, although lots of it is just family squabbles lol
