Scanning the VHF/UHF radio spectrum can be loads of fun.  I have been listening to public safety radio long before the general public heard of the word "Bearcat".  As a teenager I took an old Motorola model Twin V,  which in a previous life had served as two way communication in a taxi cab, and retuned it to the main Pittsburgh City Police frequency.  It was a mobile radio that had tubes and had to be run from an old car battery and if I remember correctly the new crystal cost me a small fortune, at least in teenage dollars.  But listening was fascinating and it started me in a hobby that remains to this day.
As I continue to build this page I will add a list of the frequencies that I listen to on a regular basis and several links to information resources about the hobby.  Stop back again and check for updates.



Here are some GREAT scanner links.
