bored?

wanna listen to scanners online?

enter this url into either winamp or vlc

http://www.waix.net:8000/scanner

(with vlc its under open/open network, then enter url)

then download this document for reference to police codes (which is slightly out of date):

police_jobcodes_2006.pdf

or you can visit

http://warsug.info/viewtopic.php?t=3 and also check out the forum

its cool to have it on in teh background and everynow and then something interesting will happen

(the scanner unit itself drops out after 2 sec of no communication, and then will pick up anything it hears - police, fire, ambos, bus/train)

Thats pretty cool. Might need to invest in one of these. Would be useful on cruises

I probably would've avoided Malaga on the last cruise if I had one

cops have been "supposed to have been" going digital for ages now... so when they do the scanners will be useless for listening to them.

[NISZILA]

I used to have a scanner, i bought it from tandys for 200 bucks, Bloody good to listen to on the weekend nights. I heard things from kids throwing fire crackers at cars, crashes, police chases, a riot in cannington with over 100 people, a guy going from door to door asking for money, ALOT of domestics, and one where a skyline and a ferrari that were drag racing along the kwinana fwy at over 170kph across the narrows haha and one of a old commodore doing bout 150 through a booze bus haha what an idiot, and heaps more.

A 'good' uhf will have this facility... at my old work i was having after work drinks listening to police freqs.

Best one I heard was about a 'ford falcon versus garage wall' lol... car chases are fun too...

Police have supposedl;y been going digital since pre-200... system has to many flaws, not happening anytime soon.

When i picked my 32 up from the car yard it still had the standard radio/cd player in it from japan, their radio frequencies must be close to our emergency frequencies as i could hear ambulance chit chat through it. . . . nothing exciting happened

This thing's pretty cool! Just heard car vs car with one guy about to belt the other driver with a tyre lever... WTF. tk tsk the ice epidemic. lol
