i will try my best to come on the second since i ffk the first one, hehe
but i have a bbq on that nite as well ... what about 1st of Feb? Fri?
you do know that scanner are illegal in Malaysia - and even if u listen to trunking, they switch everytime the the ptt is pressed sooits kinda hard to follow ... and pdrm scanning ar, all i can tell is they operate on 170 - 180 on most states and district but recently if u noticed they have added a UHF antenna to their patrol car, so i would say they are utilising the UHF band as well ... not sure la, those can be trunking as well .... the long antenna is VHF and the short one is UHF as UHF's propagation is just not that strict ...
well if they do not have scramblers u mah can listen lo ... most out of KL, smaller districts will nt have one, so u can tune in to them ... but its kinda boring as its conversation between base console and patrol cars ... those out on speciallops will use uhf mostly ...
Yep. I'm just back for a month or so from the states, where it's perfectly legal to listen in, and a lot of the state agencies haven't converted to digital/ProVoice yet, so it's the best way to get local news "as it happens". The only caveat to this is that if you use it in a moving vehicle and you get pulled over, it can be considered accessory to crime.
The 246T is a trunktracking scanner, IE you just put in the control channels for the system and it'll track the conversations by assigned ID, you don't need to keep the scanner "scanning", so to speak.
Thanks also for the observations about the various frequencies.. I have noticed that you can pick up the encrypted channels.. of course you don't hear their conversation, but you can hear the squelch tail, so you know something's going on there.
Well, scanning is quite an interesting hobby in the states.. it's a pity that it's quite the black/grey area here.
