You need to plonk an antenna on your roof, plonk a scanner in your den next to your computer, the plonk a lead between the scanner and computer. Then you can go through the internet and listen to your streaming scanner. You need to do this because metro channels are going encrypted so we need something to listen to also.

Guess I'll be looking at a few big dollars then....A digital scanner is around the $700 to $800 dollar mark aren't they?

Guess it's gunna take me awhile to save that amount especially seeing I'm on a pension.

Cheers Beers....Thanks for the heads up!

Country police will be analogue for the time being, and a digital scanner won't receive the encrypted metro comms anyway, so the expense of a digital scanner isn't necessary.

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a small uniden scanner for 100 bucks and just program Northams frequency into it? :lol:

Thankyou to the folks that have steered me in the right direction....Muchly appreciated...

Any ideas how long before the country police change over from analogue then?

And once the police go digital and they encrypt their systems how do we listen to them then??

You don't...thats the whole point of the encryption, so that people that are being chased by the police don't know that some coppers have been directed around the corner that they're about to run around.

hmmm beers...thanks, we'll have to have a gathering, if you're shouting...:P :)

I dare say the country will change over. It would be a very costly exercise to do so.

Don't bother. MATCAD is pointless. Information is filtered by police and time delayed. The media will return to relying on "inside info" and public tip offs.
