All ears tuned to Qld police scanners

THE days of the crime reporter hunched over a police scanner will be gone for good in Queensland if police succeed in a bid to keep digital communications secret.

Instead, the media could find itself restricted to a 24-hour police media unit, SMS messaging services and a broadcast dissemination service to newsrooms

Bah...  What a waste of 90 dollas...  Oh well was good listening for a bit...  Although... It could be years before they actually do something...

It took them the whole 2 years and 9 months (plus the rest) that I was there to implement just the brisbane metro area.

But now that the network has been set up and proven to work, it probably won't take that long to get the rest of the state onto digital.

Anything the police can do we can do better :cheers: hehe

Someone will crack/hack or release something that listens to the digital etc

Its just a matter of time, but who cares anyway, if i wanted to hear of constable xxx pulling over a 14 year old for a bong in his bag a 2am then ide watch cops.

hehe

Hahahahahaha............ you guys are funny:)

DIgital scanners have been available all over the world, probably arrived last to Australia:)

and can be Hacked and Cracked to any country scanning system with a tiny little mod chip:)

Oh, and they work very well :thumbsup:

as the man was saying.. i think aaron was the one who told me you could crack them fairly easly actually :thumbsup:

the best part is cops will *think* nobody can listen in on anymore :) which is more dangerous than them knowing people can listen in...

Are these similar to the ones you bought for Genesis and Charly that didn't work :(

;)

i can understand why the cops don't want us listen in, however i think it should be another one of those laws, like why cops without cameria/radar carn't book you for speeding without photographic evidence.

personaly i think that if cops can hide there vehicles and just leave the radar gun/speed cameria sitting out near the road ( and as for the radar signs that they have to have, how many of them have you seen facing the correct way on the road??) Then the public should be alowed to have radar detectors and police scanners.

just my 2 cents worth.

Makes sense, well we were able to avoid an pretty serious accident scene once due to listening to the scanner. Meant less cars at the accident scene and one less car for police to divert .... some times listening into them can be a good thing ....

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
