Ya know... I thought this thread was going to be about the other scanner, you know, the one where you put a picture or document in there and can scan it to the computer. I'm looking at mine right now. It's not plugged in and I can't remember the last time I used it.

I have a scanner. I think most go for about $100. They are fun to listen to especially if you know someone who is working and you can hear the calls they go on. Very rarely do they do "silent" dispatches.
if you get a scanner listen to cheek. lots of action now. weekends are good lots of calls to the galleria. the city is moving right into this town.
Maybe we should all get together & invest in the moving co.'s like Mayflower ?

One of my (now dead) relatives was one of the original partners of Mayflower.

I believe so.
My Great aunt got screwed when her husband died. The other partner ripped her off in a "buyout."
Either way, she still died fairly wealthy.
your great aunt got screwed in that era when they just rutinely screwed with women like it was sport.........sorry...........I believe so.

I have a RadioShack PRO-95
when I got it it was one of the best. not sure if it still is, but I still like it
haven't used it in a while though
I'm fairly sure it's illegal in NY drive around with one in the car though unless you have an amature radio license (HAM) and then I've heard conflicting info on if that exception is only for ham radios that also have scan functions or if it includes stand alone scanners
Vote for freedom, not political parties.
Politicians need to cut spending
or just ask the town board for tax money for the move im sure they would go
for it. i beleive hand held scanners are illegal in a car, only if you us it for the weather thats ok....WOOF
I have the same scanner. It was one of the best you could purchase at Radio Shack, but doesn't hold a candle to units you can find online, such as AOR and ALINCO.
As for scanners in vehicles, see the quotes and/or links, below.397. EQUIPPING MOTOR VEHICLES WITH RADIO RECEIVING SETS CAPABLE OF RECEIVING SIGNALS ON THE FREQUENCIES ALLOCATED FOR POLICE USE.
A person, not a police officer or peace officer, acting pursuant to his special duties, who equips a motor vehicle with a radio receiving set capable of receiving signals on the frequencies allocated for police use or knowingly uses a motor vehicle so equipped or who in any way knowingly interferes with the transmission of radio messages by the police without having first secured a permit to do so from the person authorized to issue such a permit by the local governing body or board of the city, town or village in which such person resides, or where such person resides outside of a city, or village in a county having a county police department by the board of supervisors of such county, is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both. Nothing in this section contained shall be construed to apply to any person who holds a valid amateur radio operator's license issued by the federal communications commission and who operates a duly licensed portable mobile transmitter and in connection therewith a receiver or receiving set on frequencies exclusively allocated by the federal communications commission to duly licensed radio amateurs.
http://www.fordyce.org/scanning/scan...fo/nyslaw.htmlThis has been discussed extensively on here and other railfan forums.
Section 397 of the NY V&T Law prohibits "equipping" a motor vehicle with a radio "capable" of receiving police frequencies.
A scanner mounted in or in any way attached to the vehicle is clearly in volation. A portable scanner used in but not connected in any way to the vehicle is a questionable but it has been prosecuted.
The law is a misdemenor - possible 6 mounths in jail! Usual penalty is a plea bargin to a non-misdemenor vehicle equipment violation and a fine and possible seizure of the scanner.
It is seldom enforced but it can be if you come to the attention of a police officer. With the homeland security paranoia, this is something the police can use against you if they decide you are engaged in suspicious activity.
If you are standing outside the vehicle with a handheld scanner this law does not apply but Peanl Law 140.40 "unlawful possession of a radio device" could be used if the officer has reason to believe you are about to commit a burglary or similar crime.
The above post was prudent advice.
