Police scanners

so I got a police scanner, does anyone have the frequencies for the po po, all i keep getting is skeena cabs…lol…

Astro, I believe that Teddy at Teddy’s has it or Jim does . I know they used to have it good luck. Good show tonight a Performing Arts or Lester Centre… Rita Chirelli great Blues guitar and singer from Hamilton will be performing seriously great stuff… I love great stuff.

You can find the frequencies for the RCMP on the internet. I dont remember what site it is exactly but thats where I got mine from.

I did a quick search and came up with this site which might be a start:

scanbc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Jim has the scanner hooked up online. You can listen to it through windows media player. You’ll just have to ask him what the address is. I lost it when my harddrive went.

Thats cool I never knew that. Whos Jim? I well go and ask him or if someone hear has the address that would be great!

thanks Mike its I had to sign up for it. :unamused: but its all good…

Jim’s the man! He’ the installer at Teddy’s he’s everything communications that guy.

Just use your computer:

rupert-rcmp.dieseljim.com:8000

I know my Dad has an old scanner. It’s got the fire department on it too. He’s probably forgotten the frequencies though.

139.250 is the RCMP repeater. 139.410 used to be the main freq for Rupert and you still hear stuff on that occasionally. But most traffic is 139.250.

What make/model of scanner do you have? I have many other local freqs, but reception of them might depend on what your scanner can receive.

Anyone have any old ones or know of anyone who has one they want to sell? I am looking to expand my collection.

i have the uniden bc72XLT thanks trying to set them… thanks

thanks so much when i do my scans it would by-pass the small numbers, I have it set, I would like the fire and ambulance and any other ones…

thanks again

Looks like your Bearcat can do air freqs too.

128.0 is Vancouver Center
134.8 also Vancouver
131.2 Alaska ATC
122.5 is Rupert Air stuff
133.4 is also some air traffic
127.3 Anchorage center, it is faint but sometimes I get stuff on that.
160.11 Rupert fire 1
159.15 Rupert fire 2
156.55 Vessel Traffic
156.8 Channel 16 VHF Marine
156.925 Marine 78a

Ambulance stuff I do not listen to. It is in my scanner software on my laptop at work, but I don’t have that loaded into this scanner at the moment. You should be able to find that online pretty easily though. Hope that helps.

so cool thank you… its very cool… I want to get a better scanner tht hooks up to a comp… maybe in the new year…

again thank you  :smiley:

VMS if you have a desktop scanner is the antenna on the outside of the house? do you need any special bnc cables or antenna…

thanks…

I find all my computer equipment interferes with my reception when using the scanner near my desk…

I have a couple of handhelds. A Pro-97 and old Pro-38 and a really old desktop scanner that I never use as it is all but useless by todays standards. I should probably get rid of it.

The Pro-97 is programmable via computer as it is 1000 channels and has alpha tagging of channels so I can know at a glance what the scanner is receiving. Easier to put in the alpha tags with the software then upload it to the scanner.

The Pro-38 is only 10 channels. I only have a few ham freqs and RCMP in that one.
I did buy a longer whip antenna for the 97 and I do get slightly better reception with it. For example the WX (automated weather) frequencies. With the standard rubber duck I can only get one, with the whip I can pick up two. I can pickup more on the marine VHF bands too with the whip.

You can put a VHF antenna on your house you just need some good cable with a BNC connector on the end and it should connect right to your scanner. I built a VHF antenna and I got the parts when the Source was still Radio Shack. I don’t use that one very often though.

How much better the reception would be with a different antenna I don’t know. You might want to ask other owners that have your model of Bearcat.

I used to have the same problem with interference when using my scanners around my computers. I had two computers in the same room and the RF shielding in the PC’s was poor as well as from CRT monitors.

Once I got rid of one PC and went to an LCD monitor things got better. Now I have just an iMac and it appears to be fairly well shielded and I don’t seem to get much RF trouble from it with my scanner close by.

can someone tell me what the automated weather freq is so i can punch it in my old scanner. thanks.

try www.shoutcast.com  it has ploice scanners from around the world you casn even listen to campus cops in the usa in search area type police scanner

Some of these may no longer exist or be in error. My confirmed list seems to be missing. Something to start with.
