I also notice that scanner users and and a desire for cell phone
eavesdropping seem to go hand-in-hand. I haven't listened to other ppl's
calls before, but im not going to cry about not being able to listen to cell
phones. For me, theres no business deals im interested in spying on, or
personal information im interested in taking.. I dont want to listen to some
bloke yell at his wife.Or some dumb woman driving down the road in her SUV
and baby talking to her kids. Or some horney couple exchanging sugary
compliments. Or some college management type yuppie calling a dry cleaner. I
dont like any of these people and i dont want to hear what comes out of
their mouths, and i would imagine when cell capable scanners become more
commonplace more people would agree with me that its not worth listening to.

the time of cellphone scanners has passed with the advance of
technology. most likely there will never be a rebirth of cellphone
scanning , no more than hacking digital c-band satellites,
phreaking, or hacking DTV. time , technology , and legislation
have allowed the makers of portable phones to escape being
eavesdropped upon. myself , I'm quite like you ........ I'm not
interested in people's personal calls either . ( yes ... I have been
in the past , obviously .... but it's " been there done that "
anymore ) thats you and I ........ but it's basic human nature
for people to listen to others personal lives and even live their
own life , vicariously , through the lives of others. evidence the
utter and massive world of TV soap operas and the
zillions of people lost in them. ( gossip magazines, shock shows
etc. ) listening to cellphones ( to them , at least ) is even better
than soaps .... this because it's real live drama. no actors there.
takes all kinds of people to make a world ...........it's all part of
the " rich texture of life " . ......... and you wouldn't believe
what the cute teenage girl , next door, and her boyfriend do
......... several hours each night on the phone , before he goes to
bed . WoW ..... smok'in ........... ah ah ahaha h ah aahaha

City moving into 700 Mhz range



The system will carry encryption and trunking capabilities, making common
scanners all but obsolete on emergency calls.

Kaufman gave the example of a police drug raid as to why the encryption is
necessary.

"It doesn't help to have a person inside listening to a scanner," he said.

Some scanners can pick up 700 MHz frequencies, but the trunking system
makes it
difficult, Abraham added, by finding a open channel fewer scanners can
pick up.
