342Four Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 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under open/open network, then enter url) then download this document for reference to police codes (which is slightly out of date): police_jobcodes_2006.pdf or you can visit http://warsug.info/viewtopic.php?t=3 and also check out the forum its cool to have it on in teh background and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) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/181142-bored/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_the_man Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 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.

Daniel R32 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 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.

infamous_t Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 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.

Daniel R32 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/181142-bored/#findComment-3308810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
