    most police have gone digital so unless you spend a lot of cash your every day £100 scanner wont do sorry

    i had the "pleasure" of installing a few tetra sites. I hear from people within the police that its not ideal (especially the time to start a transmission) and they are under pressure from the unions to switch back to analogue.

    the problem being the copper presses the button which requests a channel, the base then allocates the channel and tells the coppers set.Can take 5-6 seconds in real world and would be disatrous in some situations.

    Re: help with police

    I've got an Icom IC-R2 and that picks up alot of police activity from allover my city and a surrounding city.
    I think the more serious crime activity has went digital though, but i do still hear alot of interesting stuff.
    That scanner is handheld and cost me under £100 on ebay, i think i picked it up for £70ish. I'd definately recommend it, 0.495 - 1300 MHz, with no gaps.
