You think im going to take my $300 dollars digital police scanner apart you are crazy!

[trixwagen]

@beersmash1 Actually, it is not so bad. I've taken apart my digital scanner to remove some dust that got behind the screen. It's not like taking apart a watch where springs and gears fly everywhere--just a few screws and some circuit boards. Then again, I am a little crazy!

i listen to a lot of scanner yes, but, the fcc has mandated that scanner manufacturers make the device so as to not be able to receive, or decode cell phone data or voice calls. illegal is illegal, and a person can face fines, prison time, or both if he or she is cought intercepting a cellular phone call in any way, or mater. do not do it, do not listen in on cell phone calls.

@HurricaneSondra The point is...you can't listen to cell phones on a 1990's scanner even if you want to, even if you modify it to open up the old cell phone frequencies. It's like a law against hunting Dodo birds. Meaningless because it is obsolete!

Actually, the encrypted ones still require expensive hardware and very high-level skillsets in signal processing... Anyway, most audio are so boring anyway.. it goes like yeah.. yeah... sure.. yeah.. whatever... LOL

[trixwagen]

@CellularInterceptor I always assumed the encrypted stuff must be REALLY good, hence they don't want anyone to hear it. But, yeah, you're probably right.

@smipe2001 True, unless you are someplace where listening is illegal. Several states made it illegal to use a "mobile scanner", so you can't avoid the cops on the road. There are also countries like Greece and Norway where OWNING a scanner is illegal.

@inkey2 Yeah I remember them days. I just keep hearing closed wire phones. I'm guessing by how it sounds is people getting bleed reception from land line phones from the wires. Im just trying to figure it out.

[inkey2]

@Dusty696969 this is what I was told...of course I never actually did these things.........well these days you cannot intercept cordless or cell phone signals. The old cordless phones were on freq. between 46.00 and 48.00. You might still hear baby monitors from about 48. to 50. For a while you could hear cell phones in the 800s. Them days is long gone. I think even ship to shore frequencies aren't even used anymore

@hwy163 With hardwire you mean the signal that leaks out of the wires of phones. I did hear one way of a converstation around 400 MHZ one time but did not fully understand why. Is this what you are talking about. Can you PM me and tell me the freqs that they most of the time leak on? Or if Im wrong what you are talking about please?

[Dusty696969]

@inkey2 You cant message me the freq list? lol. But I do understand if you dont want to.

[Dusty696969]

@Dusty696969 damn autocorrect. I meant bluetooth. lol

[inkey2]

@Dusty696969 i really can't go into it...but yeah, the analog days were AWSOME......nuff said.

Cute video reminds me of my 1 yr old Son playing with my ham radios can you hear Dad haha fun people need to have more fun so many angry people had someone honking an headbanging steering wheel today cause i didnt turn at lights quick enough i waited for my protected left turn arrow instead an fussed with my radio : p

[Dusty696969]

@hwy163 What freqs do wireless hardwired run off of. Are you talking about bucktooth's and what not. If so wouldn't you need to be almost right next to the person. I have a old Radio Shack pro-2050 and a newer Radio Shack digital pro-197. I would love to know what you mean. I miss the old Analog days.
