Who here listens to Police Scanners?....I have a question. - GoFuckYourself.com

BVF · 03-10-2009, 01:34 PM

I'm scanning the channels and sometimes a channel goes dead for awhile and then I have to hit scan again to find another channel...

I wanted to know if certain officers are assigned certain channels or do they scan them all and respond to whatever?

there is a 211 in my pants , all units respond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom_PM · 03-10-2009, 01:47 PM

I dont think the days of assigning a specific frequency to a specific car or officer exist anymore. Ask your local radio shack nerd. They auto switch, but some scanners can auto follow too.

LOL a robbery in Juicy's pants

Since it's in your pants area, the more appropriate call is a Man on Man version of 261

BVF · 03-10-2009, 01:51 PM

It looks like the police that roam in the area where I find my hoes in use channel 2....Near my house is channel 8.....

So next time I'm out on a hunt, I'll have channel 2 on....There's all kind of action you can find.... A half naked woman was being dragged up the street....I should've showed up with my cape and my camera...

Oliver Klozov · 03-10-2009, 02:01 PM

Sort of a hard question to answer without knowing what your scanning but the easy answer might be what's called a "header" or "birdie" this is where a freq is used by a near by electronic device. Could be your computer, could even be the scanner itself.

Birdies are frequencies your scanner uses when it operates. The most common birdies to watch for are listed below.
31.05 MHz 124.20 MHz
41.40 MHz 134.55 MHz
51.75 MHz 144.90 MHz
113.85 MHz 155.25 MHz

If you lock out that freq you should solve that problem or move your radio away from electronic stuff.

Now if it's locking on a known active freq it could be something totally different.

If you're trying to follow trunked radio traffic which most police and fire use now you need a trunk tracker scanner to follow the action.

Again the short answer is trunk radio is computer controlled and jumps around to all sorts of freq so you will need a trunk tracker radio to follow, you can listen with a normal scanner but you will only hear parts of conversations.

Officers are not normally assigned certain channels they all work off one main dispatch channel then sometimes go to "tac" channels or "car to car" channels.

Undercover and detectives will often have their own channels to work on but officers are not assigned certain channels. In fact they don't really use channels at all anymore they have what's called "Talk Groups"

Scanners are pretty complicated these days with Trunked and Digital Radios it can be a pain to follow along.

I turned my scanner on when i was at my loft in milwaukee.. It was the scariest thing I've ever heard in my life. Made me never want to leave the loft haha

DirtyDanza · 03-10-2009, 09:04 PM

they use whats called trunking....

you know that little chirp that you hear... that switches it over so dispatch has one and the officers have another... I have a tripple trunking scanner...

also different areas use different freq...

I got em all on mine.. narc, swat, and all areas of town... I never really scan mine though I leave it on the area im in.....

scanners are great for entertainment IMO they are much better than the radio....

They don't operate on channels. They operate on frequencies.

Example: http://www.chicagoscanningclub.com/CSCSubPol.htm

So if you lived in Barrington, you'd listen to the frequency 470.8125. Which would be the department's dispatch. You would hear all outgoing calls to cars, like "420 at corner of etc etc", and then cars calling in to dispatch saying "420 suspect found etc etc".

If you're listening to channels are you sure you even have a scanner and not just a CB Radio?

potter · 03-10-2009, 09:16 PM

Radio Shacks used to carry frequency guides for specific areas/states. I have the Illinois one from like ten years ago. When I was a teenager I used to listen to police, fire, or anything that was cool. It has the listing of every single frequency in the entire state, thing is like a phone book. I think it cost me about $15-30 back then.

fris · 03-10-2009, 09:19 PM

mines a modded ft-50r ham radio, which i can use as a scanner, and can talk on the freqs as well.

EscortBiz · 03-10-2009, 09:26 PM

no clue if your town uses trunked systems or not

regardless every 2-3 pct. use one freq. so you have to figure out what pct. is in the area you are in, in addition vice and anti crime etc might be using a separate channel.

the dispatcher only sends calls to the pct where the call is from or to the freq that carries that pct and the others, if its a level 3 etc mobilization then in might go citywide or to other pct's.

trial and error will work best thou, hang out when you see them pick up someone in the street or whatever they will always run a id check or plate check over the radio and if they can do that in their car you will still hear stuff like "one under" or something related to what you see, if you dont than you need to find the right channel.

i built an computer alarm clock that turns on a scanner as an alarm so when i leave i will often turn it on so it sounds like theres cops inside lol

abadfish · 03-10-2009, 09:35 PM

I really want to get a scanner. Every time I see something going down I want to know what's going on so bad. A couple of my neighbors are total fuck ups and the cops are always at their houses and I want to know why.

My dad used to always listen to one. We could pick up people's cordless phones also. It was pretty cool. My fiance and I want to get one cause we live on a very busy corner with lots of accidents and its a popular spot to pull people over for DUIs so we'd love to listen in as we watch out the window.

lol no you just fit into a stereotype so easily, dunno why some people are like that, they just are. Doesn't make you bad or unlikeable.

As said, it's trunked, so unless you have an original cop scanner, or know the trunk patterns, you'll have issues keeping up.

Scanning is great fun.

I used to get endless amusement around the 30mhz zone, all the people using old cordless phones would be broadcasting their conversations far and wide.

Well I pretty much figured out what "channel" to use for my neighborhood and for the neighborhood that I hunt my hoes in....I found out that somebody tried to rob a gas station right up the street from me with an umbrella....

They were calling it an "armed robbery"

pornguy · 03-11-2009, 12:30 PM

Each Police agency has its own radio system or the ones big enough for the eqequipment do. So you have the county with its own range of channels then each city in the county.

For the most part the agency has 4 to 12 channels that they use for different things.
1 is main channel for call dispatch.
2 for records so that people can be checked
3 for chat between cars
4 tach channel
5 marine channel or sector depending on the size of the city or what ever. and they are not always in that order.
