so, in another fit of dorkdom, i acquired a scanner. it’s nothing special, a radio shack pro-528 (mfg by uniden) but it’s totally awesome. i messed with it at work last night for a bit, listening to the radios at the casino and also listening to checker cab’s dispatch and stuff.
today, i went to radio shack and got a different antenna (PN200-006) telescoping dingus. I can now easily pick up airband stuff (which is, ultimately, the reason i even wanted the thing) and i can also hear the casino’s radios all the way out here in northwest abq. pretty fun stuff.
i think this could turn into a hideous addiction, though.
okay, just to make sure i have this correct… you go home and miss work so much that you are listening to it from home. and you are worried about getting addicted to doing that. *shakes head sadly*
not the casino thing specifically, the other stuff. i was listening to police calls in rio rancho today. there was a stabbing or something. also, a dog stuck in a dog trap somewhere in rio rancho. and the aircraft radio stuff is always fun because i’m such an aviation geek
no no, i think kira is correct. i hear sandia’s radio frequency on ALL THE TIME.
if by “all the time” you mean twice. you jerk.
