Streaming scanners are really cool. I never had the urge to buy one, but now that it's free, it's about the best source of distraction-blocking noise yet. Plus it actually gets interesting every once in a while, in which case, so much for distraction-blocking, but oh well about that. No such thing as a free lunch or a perfect world (as if there was a difference), right?

scanner manufacturers are rapidly going out of business because of encoding and the fact that many area can be heard streaming.. maybe one day a week something will interest me and i will click one on for a few hours. i listened to the boston chase and capture even after the boston police ordered them not to be streamed.

I feel like I'm in an Adam 12 episode only without Jack Webb's stories.

That sounds like I'm mocking, but I'm not. It's really pretty cool.

SCANNER LISTENERS DESERVE MOCKING. MANY WALK AROUND WITH THE DAMN THINGS TO THEIR EAR AS IF THEY WERE ON DUTY..........................

My stereotypical image from back in the day is of a middle-aged always semi-drunk lonely guy with insomnia, living in some rat hole with nothing better to do and no better way to do it.

But that was before you could mutlitask with this stuff. Now, it's very often good to have noise, and there's an infinite number of ways to get it.
