409 Questions

Is a Police scanner able to pick up airplane signals?

No.

Answer #2

As far as fixed wing airplanes it is possible to hear the communications from either the aircraft or the control tower or both depending on the distance from them to you. Other types of aircraft such as helicopters can be listened to as well if they have an open system and can be made easier to hear if they are using a repeater.

Convert digital to reg police scanner?

Trying to convert a digital scanner to a regular or conventional scanner would be downgrading some of the capabilities of what the scanner would be able to do.

Some services have already or have plans to update their conventional systems to go digital and without having a digital scanner the scanner will not output what communications are going on through those digital systems.

What type of police scanner is needed for Long Beach CA?

I believe a digital or an analog scanner should work just fine for the city of Long Beach.

Other cities that are capable of being listened to from the Long Beach area can be a different story however.

For the Los Angeles Police Department they now use digital APCO codes so a digital scanner capable of decoding the APCO codes is necessary to listen to just about any LAPD traffic.

Orange county for police and fire as well as some other traffic now uses digitally encrypted communications so no commercially sold equipment is sold to pick up those encrypted frequencies.

As far as trunking a scanner that is capable of being programmed for different trunking systems would be needed for listening to networks that use this type of communications system.

Basically most services that use the air waves to communicate can be picked up on almost any type of scanner. At least in recent memory. However at some point in time cities in Los Angeles may decide to upgrade their systems.

What is the scanner frequency for Denton Tx police?

There is no single frequency for Denton City PD. The Denton City PD uses a talkgroup on a trunked radio system (0B12 is the system ID, 105.88 is the connect tone, control channels 857.31250, 858.31250, 859.31250, and 860.31250 MHz) shared by the city (shared with fire, waste, city management, water, TWU, UNT, etc) and there are multiple trunked frequencies. If you want to monitor them (and if it's legal for you to do so), you will need a radio scanner capable of following trunked systems and capable of reception in the 800-MHz public safety band. The system is a Motorola Type-II SmartNet. I don't know if the city is going to go digital (many scanners especially trunking scanners will do digital) or possibly APCO-25 (you need an expensive scanner to decode APCO-25).

More info (including the other frequencies in the system and the talkgroups that use that system) can be found here: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=22

What functions are there on Police Scanners?

The scope of the available functions on any given police scanner is totally dependent on what kind of scanner the individual is utilizing.

The basic feature is of course being able to turn the unit on and off as well as setting the volume. Most scanners will have the ability to hit a button and have the back light come on so that you can see the readout when it is dark.

A scanner has the ability to scan a number of frequencies as well as store frequencies in its memory. The number of frequencies is again dependent on what scanner one is using.

Scanners have a squelch ability that can be turned up or down which allows the listener to get rid of a hiss sound or static by adjusting the gain of the receiver. Basically it stops the output to the speaker when the signal is weaker than the noise it is receiving and allow the receiver to continue scanning frequencies or sit quietly on the set frequency.

The number of functions that any and all scanners could have are too many to list here from the different manufacturers and the various scanners that are and were in production.

Some newer digital scanners have the ability to receive APCO 25 codes and work with receiving various trunking systems. Some have the ability to hook up to a personal computer and even upload information to the unit which can save time by automatically programming frequencies into the banks of the unit for your area.
