My Police Scanners

[knele1997]

UNIDEN is the best!!!!



[TheRyanKing420]

You have shitty equipment! Wow how embarassing

[robm425]

@TheRyanKing420 And you have nothing so its more than you troll!

[Ferrari360Spyder]

Holly fuck bro, did you ever hear Osama Bin Laden with all that equipment? lmao. like the video sick shit you got.

[joker71496]

ha ha i have a uniden bearcat 210xl,and i have a bearcat 800xlt.

[thankaveterin]

yo r u from ny

[JayRex909]

its legal to own these but to transit is illegal...dat means u kan listn but not transmit

[SickSideSmile]

can you talk to the other person?? or just listen

[robm425]

@SickSideSmile Only listen.... to Transmit would be illegal

[SickSideSmile]

@robm425 so with a cb radio u can transmit right? but who uses them truckies? taxis? everything is digital theses day. i just want to talk to some random people what would u recomend?

[robm425]

@SickSideSmile CB radio is a good start and pretty cheap place. but you need to be close to a interstate as mainly use them

Might want to look for a local HAM or amateur radio club

[dman15333]

@robm425 Do you know if there legal to listen to in every country

[robm425]

@dman15333 Nope.. Sorry I am sure the information is out there on google if you searched for it

[bradxsebastian2]

Are these illegal?

[St3aming]

@bradxsebastian2 No.

[D081]

cool :D

[vanisland17]

Is there an app where you can punch in numbers for the fire,ems around your area and listen to them? I live in BC

[robm425]

@vanisland17 I know there is an iPhone app that I occassionally use for $5 still not as good as my home desk setup though

[dudeproductions100]

@robm425 what is it?

[ghess11]

You sound like pampurchu. He is another youtuber.

[robm425]

@tetramoo Take it up with your Government! Unfortunately for the USA scanners are getting more and more useless each year as the interesting radio traffic is going to encrypted radio communication which can't be listened to. Which is what you guys have over there

[dhide14]

wow....you must have an active night life

[robm425]

@dhide14 I do actually that is part of the reason I do have scanners, It helps to know when my parties are going to be busted or when a neighbor calls with a noise complaint.

[rockband5557]

robm425 i have a question i want a scanner that i can hear whennn the police is coming round mee what scanner should i use the pro 96 is best do u think?

[atvrider7]

Did he say "im a bit insane" or "im a bit in standing" at the very beginning of the video? o..O

[robm425]

@atvrider7 "I am a bit into scanning"

[961995h]

wait, did u say suffolk county fire? in selden?

[robm425]

@961995h Well Suffolk County Fire I get all the fire calls for all of suffolk county towns.

[nucci888]

@robm425 hell yea. 46.46 tuned in over here in ronk too.

[961995h]

@961995h ohh ahaha sorrry i live in smithtown nd seldens liek the next town over haha

[alarmoffice711]

Stern rules!! Bababooey!!

[ballores]

@ninjakid6 you could buy a yaesu vx2r a good little two way amateur radio and lock the transmission button from the menu turning it into a scanner it will not cover trunk tracking or digital stuff only plain old analogue which is still interesting depending on your likes , about the smallest radio about puxing do a very cheep vx2r which is purely UHF in frequency available very cheap from fleabay hope this helps

[robm425]

@digitalblue9000 What illegal about this? In the USA its perfectly legal just to passively listen to police, fire, and EMS, transmissions from your home. Now if this was in my car it would be more of a state law question

[dudeproductions100]

@robm425 they are illegal if you either hack it so you can talk on it or if you use it to hide from cops or for other criminal activity.

[robm425]

@dudeproductions100 It wouldn't be a scanner if it would be a transmitter....... Secondly as far as being illegal when commiting the crime it varies per state and most states require the crime to be a felony

[spprtatpscm]

@digitalblue9000

No.

[HabSource]

@digitalblue9000 If it was illegal why would they sell it in a public store?

[Nugburner420]

bababooooey!!

need back up, another black man on pcp

[dlt215]

@Nugburner420 hispanic and white people are known to use pcp idiot

[Nugburner420]

@dlt215 well your mom does it and shes black ! explain that one. you pikinini.

[dlt215]

@Nugburner420 well were you see my mom at explain that you corn ball

[jcurran86]

@joeyalbergo yeah I couldn't agree more. but you said scanning is a hobby and takes skill and money....and then you said your probably lacking all 3.....Let me give you a piece of advice......don't talk shit if you can not count.... Its fucking simple i can count to 10 in like 6 different languages and you cant fucking do it in English.

[MrScrappydue]

Thank you.when I was a kid I lived next to the mass pike and I took my little walkie talkie and at times I would put tin foil on the antenna and I would clime a tree just so I could talk to CBers.I dont know if the tin foil worked but it was fun.thanks again

[MrScrappydue]

I have the PRO-164 and it has CB ch's but I never hear anything on it,any idea why? I would like to know what outside antena are you using? I have a porch in a housing complex and not sure what I could use.Have you ever tryed a big ass,long antena on your hand held? I know it would not be good to walk around with but I was curious.

[robm425]

@MrScrappydue Well you might not be able to recieve CB signals because nobody is transmitting. CB frequencies you need big antenna if you want good range. generally its recommended you be close to an interstate as that is the only roads were CB's are used. listen to ch19 as that is the most active.

My outdoor antenna is 'Radio Shack Outdoor VHF-Hi/UHF Scanner Antenna' Model: 20-176

[saleen49]

What is trunking?

[robm425]

@saleen49 Google "Trunking radio Basics" and click on the top link. Its to hard to explain in 500 characters

[OhAolain]

What do you think of the BC246T? I was thinking of getting one for a visit to the US as its useful for trunk tracking, but the PRO-96 seems good too.

[robm425]

@OhAolain

Its fun scanner for entertainment value. I use. If you don't need to listen to digital trunk tracking scanners the bc246t is a great scanner

[ninja6kid]

what is the smallest scanner that you know of?i want something for my motorcycle with an earpiece

[OhAolain]

@robm425

Thanks for the advice. I have a BC72xlt which I like because of the size. The BC246T has the same body and the system in the area I'm going to is analogue so it should do. Its a very good looking scanner.

[ryanperry90]

what do think of Uniden BC246t Analog trunking scann?

[dragonlordprince11]

I use scanner app on iPod...

[osnix]

same its awsome.

[ninja6kid]

only it is delayed and you dont get all areas.

[dragonlordprince11]

suffolk NY?

[robm425]

yes

[IamInYourClosett]

what would be a good scanner to purchase? one i could keep in my car, without adding an extra antenna? thanks man, great vid

[TheSkillsOfLife]

@IamInYourClosett

i have a radioshack one

"handheld radio scanner"

no attatachments it was about 100 dollars

200 channels

[mac777daddy]

Depends on if your local police or what ever you want to scan is using digital or analog communications. Digital scanners are high $400 to buy and analog are as low as $90.

[fdnypipeman21]

pro 96 is digital 800 right?

[fish67y]

last night i was at my cousins house and he has a police scanner bearcat and i listen to it for like two hours someone callled the police about people screaming because of a haunted house it was a prank they said

[hacker1462]

i have a new radioshack scanner i think 225 im having trouble with it it comes in

clear when im sitting and listeng to it

in my car but when i drive it does not come in good at all i think i need the roof

antenna and someone told me i can take it to radio shack and have it programed

but i dont know please reply

[you122789]

cool Police Scanners

[rockhopper121]

hey u buy it from dicksmith right thats bullshit

[pppaullll]

can i ask you if this scanner UNIDEN BEARCAT UBC-30XLT will pick up the police or can you recommend one im from uk

[ROBLOXingHabbo]

No Scanner in the world! Ever will pick up the uk police with there TETRA AIRWAVE system...Never Ever!

[Jackcc5]

what are you going to do with your scanner when they go to encrypted digital p25 system. that's what our police are going to man are we going to be fucked

[stealthd2]

long island?

[robm425]

yep

[dnl5649]

you spent $500 for that, ripoff

radio shack is always more expenive and not very good

get your ham liscense

[fassialami]

@dnl5649

please what does ham mean ? I saw it on most Scanners, Also is the Scanner Legal to Have or Illigal ?

[dnl5649]

@fassialami ham radio. Amature radio.

im a ham my call is kj4kvg.

no it isnt in anyway to have a scanner. but if your transmitting you need ur liscense or the fcc will get u (federal communication commission)

[robm425]

Not with the pro 91 or Pro 2024. CB radio Frequencies range from 26.965-27.405

Nieth of those scanners allow programing those in

[2j4ez]

There is no such thing as a POLICE SCANNER you have a wide band receiver that can scan the frequencies that the police are on if it scans 27mhz its not a CB SCANNER just a scanner

[robm425]

You could call it that but when they come pre preprogramed from the factory with all the police frequencies of some areas I would call it a police scanner

[lin1920522514]

how did u found the police frequencies?

[snnnoopy]

i have the pro 96 and i have bought software for programming, but for the life of me, I cant figure out how to get it to scan the different police/fire. Is there a sequence of buttons i have to push?

[Jackcc5]

do you ever pick up cell phone calls with that

[robm425]

You could back in the day when cell phones were using analog but now they are all digital. It is illegal and something I would never do even could

[JohnR177]

Is this a good scanner to buy from RadioShack if I want to use it to listen to local Fire Departments and their radio chatter?

[HFXGraff]

are these legal?

[darrrkness]

Yea, but they are somewhat limited to a certain degree of use.

[robm425]

Legal pretty much if you are just listening from your house and not using to spy on neighbors, or commit criminal activity. Also some states have laws against you using them in cars

[welldonemister]

Well yes, u can listen, but if u use this channel or do anything else then listening then it's a criminal act (in EU)

That's how all the news reporters know where to bust in : D

[microminiskirt]

The 210 Bearcat XL is old 80's tech.

[pirate12198]

u sound like that guys from superbad not seth not mclovin but the third guy, you sound like him

[mrdark242]

evan. yeah he kinda does lol

[fendermn92]

What is the cheapest scanner I can get for 800MHZ law enforcement on a trunking system? I would also like it for the HAM band.

Nic KE5VMO

[lirico408]

we have 3 of them very useful this could be a toy but we use it for bznes im from san jose c.a and if your from around here you know what im talking about

[zimfromBM]

can they tell you how far away police are?

[latinounidos92]

wannabe cops lol rentacops

[robm425]

Not a wannabee cop or a rental cop at all...Its just fun to listen to the police and hear whats going on. When you hear your first car chase or drug bust it is well worth it!!! Also if you looked at my other videos you see I use it as a counter measure from getting pulled over. Its nice to know if there is an APB out on my vehicle

[rep0eagle]

I have a radioshack Pro-46 w/900 Mhz

theres nothing wrong with radioshack scanners they work fine but bearcat is a better make.

[MaKaElectric]

Radio Shack does not make scanners, they buy them from Uniden and GRE and just put their name on them.

[robm425]

Never read anything about that being not allowed but never researched it. If the ex-con was not going to listen to scanners to further break the law I am sure it would be fine for them to listen.

[DrewDawg50]

Oh, this one sells hard drugs and lives in my neighborhood. yay!

[robm425]

Well seeing as this guy is an ex-con and is commiting illegal acts again his brain power is not high enough to realize the benefits. Honestly I occassionally hear stake-outs of drug houses but its rare. Most of the special squads at most places use unscannable frequencies(encrypted) or maintain radio silence on some instances

[joeyalbergo]

lol!!!! they cant figure out how to use them anyway.

[jaypee112233]

Is this legal?

Because in Germany it's not.

Thanks for answers :)

[robm425]

In the USA they are legal everywhere in your own household...Some states it is illegal to listen to police transmissions in the car.

In Germany police scanners are legal to own BUT:

-Illegal to posess a non-CE-approved radio device except amateur radios

-Illegal to listen any transmission which is not "directed to the public" (broadcast signals and amatuer radio are for the public)

-Illegal to monitor cordless phone transmissions

[jaypee112233]

Okay,

know I know that! :)

Thank you!

[LidarDan15]

I saw in the video where you were showing u were more stealth than happy ass your Garmin had all the speed traps and the cops...how'd u do that?

[robm425]

Do you even look at my other videos???? I explain how I do that in another video with Trapster

[dragonheartradio]

radioshack scanners are the best for me i love radioshack becaues their basic programming unlike uniden.

me, pro-82 and pro-97.

[swingbikechick]

I have a uniden bc350a my husband got me for christmas last year...it's supposed to go in my car but he still has to take care of doing that!  Listening to the scanner is more exciting than watching any tv...it's news as it happens...

[themagicjellybeans]

You have all nice stuff ,PLEASE get a new microphone for your PC! Please-

[robm425]

not my computer Mic just the mic on the Flip VideoCamera

[themagicjellybeans]

Ok so replace that one.:)

[Sinker2859]

I want to get back into scanners. I have an old pro-46 but i want to get a new one. The question is should i go digital or I have been looking at the uniden BC246T is that good enough for now?

[robm425]

your pro 46 might still pick some radio signals or interest, My Bearcat 210xl dates back to 1983 and it still it enough to scann the frequencies used around my town....a Uniden bc246t is defintiely not a bad scanner to get back into the hobby with but you still need to figure out what you want to listen to before you buy a scanner as the bc246t doesn't cover digital trunking radio systems which some areas are now using

[airgreek]

keep trying son follow me for stealthvation . Quit misleading these poor souls with your cheap ass scanners lol ;)

[robm425]

The only responses I will accept from you will now be Video response's. I am not the one following. I opened your eyes to the CB radio, and police scanners...Also I have a car that full JFG. Anyone can JTG but only select few can JFG and I am one of them

[MaKaElectric]

His digital was not cheap, why do you feel the need to put others down? What are you working with? Google St Louis Scancast to see mine, all listed on my myspace.

[airgreek]

you still have a long way to go to be as stealth as me boy!

[robm425]

Keep telling yourself that and waste more money and still have punchthroughs

[MaKaElectric]

I bet I have you beat LOL

[ThatOneGuy8904]

i want to get a bc95xlt scanner. its 800mhz, and i think its digital? if i buy it will it work with the reg am/fm that they use now along with digital?

[robm425]

It is in NO WAY digital. It isn't even an analog trunking scanner. It is just an analog scanner. The bc95xlt will only work with analog (non-trunked) frequencies, "reg am/fm. For digital you need to spend alot more money $400+ and it will be a quote "digitcal trunking scanner".....While a straight analog scanner like the BC95xlt is a good scanner to start with I encourage people to start with at least an Analog trunking scanner like the Uniden bc246t or Radio Shack Pro-97

[ThatOneGuy8904]

cool thanks that helped alot. i want to buy a scanner, but once this big switch to digital comes, wont it make a non digital scanner useless?

[Rixhard912]

What do you know about Police using encrypted police scanners? Our police uses them so the media doesn't listen in. But is there a way to listen in?

[robm425]

not that I know of. But I have never dealt with encryted radios

[robm425]

Nope

[youbite1]

haha i have a pro 162

[mchamp3802]

So you definitely know your scanners and I've been doing plenty of research but can't for the life of me tell the difference between the radioshack one and the uniden BCD 396T.

I'm trying to get my car like what alex roy has his! lol Any advice is greatly appreciated

[robm425]

I perfer the Uniden 396t much easier to program, only reason I went with the radio shack is a i got an amazing deal which I couldn't pass up. But before you go with a scanner add a CB radio. Its much better investment for interstate driving than a scanner

[Seattlekid8]

Do you know what type of scanner I need to hear Granby CT. police. I rather not ask them. thanks, their freq. is 460.525 I think it's analog.

[robm425]

yeah just plain on analog will cover that but you are limiting what you can listen to with just an analog scanner...at least try and buy a analog trunk scanner...It will give you more versitility...I sent you a message with the frequencies in your area

[Seattlekid8]

Thanks, might get the BC780xlt

[scanner42]

nice scanners , i had two but the cops took one cause we kept showing up at calls

[rockets713]

lol thats funny...can they do that?

[scanner42]

they told me and my friend our parents could come get them . but we didn't tell them we both had a spare at home

[feared7]

Does the analog trunking scanner also pick up NON-trunked analog frequencies?

[huffster777]

i am thinking the same thing. anybody got an answer? i would think that they would recieve both trunked and non trunked

[robm425]

Yes analog trunking scanners can listen to non-trunked analog channels and so can my digital trunking scanner.

[hamish550]

nice stuff

[ALEX62592]

i have the first one the radio shack i got it for free but i need a Antenna how much do they go for?

[feared7]

Scanning is tons of fun! For scanning the analog signals I actually use ham radios because they have few frequency gaps (compared to scanners) and they have the ctcss/dcs encode/decode which a lot of scanners do not have.

[Seakster123]

How much do u want for pro-96??? :)

Do u know any good websites for live online scanners?

[bigluke93]

scangeorgia (dot) com

[una2020]

wow these are worth a lot, have you ever heard anything serious on them?

I've just bought one, and as i live near london, im gonna stick that anttenna at crystal palace, see what i get!

does the one by the window with the red screen have a massive antenna outside or something?

Kl videos btw! ^^

[robm425]

Not really too big...I'll make an updated video of my set-up to show the outdoor antenna's

[drewce123]

what do u do with the scanners also how much did u spend on the

-Radio Shack Pro-96

and does it work in canada lol? just curious

[robm425]

I listen to police radio transmissions for entertainment value. Yes radio scanners work all over the world as long as ou have a list of the radio frequencies used in the area

[eddiemiles1920]

a digital scanner will cost U 400 to 700 bucks , Price range

[robm425]

Except when Radio Shack is having a half off special on their scanners and you got a friend with an employee discount

[eddiemiles1920]

lucky you

[JackDooner]

hey i need to ask you something,,,, what would the most basic scanner i need to listen to air traffic control???? plz reply....

[robm425]

Usually yes most basic ones will pick up Air traffic frequencies. But I have had alot of trouble listening to air traffic control even with my outdoor scanner antenna but then again I never really tried

[BlackDieselSmoke]

why do you have all these things?

[robm425]

Entertainment value. I orginially got the 210xl from my father after he volunteer firefighter. So as tell went on I wante to listen to more and more channels so i needed a better scanner. Currently studying for my HAM licence

[BlackDieselSmoke]

oh K, interesting videos btw

[robm425]

Thanks if I find any good receptions I'll try to get it on video

[MotorolaNextel]

nice make more vids if you can!, I have the regular 210 with 10 channels, I have a vid on it but since then i have gotten more scanners. 5 total
