World’s Greatest… Radio Scanners

World’s Greatest… Radio Scanners

Bc796DgoodAlex (who tried to convince me to race in the Gumball Rally on more than one occasion) has a great article detailing his experiences with radio scanners “When was the last time you saw a trucker pulled over for speeding?

    MAKErs who want to hear mostly analogue frequencies would be wise to get an old PRO-2006 scanner off of ebay. The PRO-200X series weren’t only the most-hacked scanners, but they are some of the most hackable hardware of any type.
