Just got a scanner. Anyone know any frequencies in Toronto?
 

Hi. I just got a rather vintage portable scanner. Goes from .5 to 1300MHz. Anyone know know any cool frequencies? I just picked up something french, the guy kept saying numbers and "west, south...." some coordinates....

So anyone?

where can you get a scanner??? sounds like fun

I herd that radio shack has them. I got this from a guy used in addition to other stuff and it cost me 100$.

Heh, scanners are cool. I've got an old police scanner stuffed away in my garage somewhere. It was kind of fun to listen in on thier conversations.
I used to have a CB Radio too, my friends and I would chat with truckers. Some wierd people out there! It's now in the boat at the cabin.

so can it pick up all the police channels

Yep. You just got to know the frequencies.

Here you go - these are what I remember off the top of my head, lemme go sit down and come up with a long list... ;)

CBs are cool. I used to take up cops frequencies and talk shit on them....those guys were going nuts since they did not know what was going on....idiots :lol:

I also had a scanner and used to pick up cell phone conversations. Crazy shit, weird people as you said. This one time I herd these people talk about getting out of the city cause someone was going to wack them in few hours.........this other time I herd kinky phone sex..... :lol:

So far I picked up only a local airport. Nothing else special. I need to get some batteries and go on my roof top. Maybe Ill catch some more stuff.

Seriously though :lol: this may be a half decent list... it's where I got the Toronto list...

I want to go dig out the scanner now, I haven't messed with it in a long time.
