WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

To be sure, this is non trunked right? as in if you put in all the current police frequencies that are on the new digital (yes i know you cant listen normally) if they went unencrypted again it still wouldnt pick up right? or am i completely confused?

Listening on mobile phones

Here are some media players out there that will stream Shoutcast on mobiles:

Windows Mobile

GSplayer http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/

Symbian (Nokia, etc)

Hard to set up, but the S60 Internet Radio app does work

iPhone

include a search by location..

It appears to be a security company, there is sometimes a tone before and after the conversation that i can hear, ill post a sample tonight.

Sample: http://220.235.237.233/webshare/507000MHz.WAV recorded via UBC120XLT scanner (non digital non trunking)

I found a frequency on my normal analog scanner. 507.5500 yet when I put it into the Digital (UBC996T) scanner it wont recieve the transmissions?? What am I doing wrong here?

added more tgid's

Take a listen to it, if you look at a normal wave length, (sort of like a heartbeat..) flip it around and thats what it sounds like.

Swan towing is using some sort of voice scrambler, pretty sure its reversing the audio in some way.

Found these so far, not sure what any of them are as I get pretty weak signals. edit found more.

Another one, unprocessed just cropped.

F/A18 Hornet was bloody awesome. Hearing stuff on the scanner was very handy.

Expected a caution? Nope. Would have made an interesting day in court though, I've got the spare time and the inclination to fight those kind of things.

You should just suck it up if you have got a ticket why waste tax payers money trying to defend something that you obviously would never win ...

At Home (oh and couldn't resist showing a real notebook)

Marto - what program do you use to record scanner audio? I use VRS and find it really easy and reliable.

I didn't really have any recording software and wasn't sure what to try so at the present I am just using CD Spin Doctor from Toast 8 ...

Yeah, the firmware is upgradeable, but i dont know if you could upgrade it to access MPT1327 trunking system, in theory you could if it uses the same frequencies.

Thanks for the replies, I went with the uniden for now, might look into the VR-5000 at a later date.
