It would even pick up cordless phone transmissions in their early days. Quite the interesting conversations I must admit at times. Everything went more secure but the scanner companies evolved with them. We listened to ours all the time to hear when fire, and ambulance calls went out and LEO were dispatched. Now, every LEO I see going down the road uses a cell phone that appears attached to their ears. Every one I see driving down the road is on their phone. Not saying it's personal, but it could possible the most secure way to communicate between units or dispatch.Most on-air scanner communication with LEO is either scrambled or trunked. The last time I tried to use ours, we could get very little on it.</blockquote>
