scanner in Spider-Man 3?
 

Anyone catch the model number of the scanner Peter Parker / Spider-Man
had in Spider-Man 3? I caught the Realistic logo and it had 16 lights
representing each channel and the active channel would light up. It
looked like something from the 80s and I doubt it'd be able to track
NYPD's current system.

Patrolman, but don't know if there is an actual model # ever visible...

That's a crystal controlled scanner, definitely not the 1980s
state-of-the-art.

so is it from the 70s? could it monitor NYPD's current system?

It cannot negotiate trunk systems. It would work well here in L.A.
County.

I doubt that... I do recall Patrolman, but don't ever recall seeing an
actual model #. I'll have a look this coming weekend, if I remember to...

No, looked a LOT closer to this. I'm not 100% positive, but I'm going to
say this was the unit.

In light of this little search, I stumbled upon a VAST WEALTH of Operators
and Service Manuals for scanners of all types. Might want to check it out!

Maybe I spoke too soon... Looks like they were only links to other sites, a
lot of which a now dead... Scavenge what you can still get access to I
guess...

Here in UK Radio shack went under the guise "Tandy" and most equipment sold
went under the name of "Realistic" which most were called Patrolman. Just
Radio shacks as you know them with a different name but same number e.g
radio shack pro-43= Realistic patrolman Pro-43

I'm going to have to get a good look at it again... I could have sworn it
looked more like the unit I had posted a link for (Pro 48a) , but then
again, I really wasn't looking all that close when I was watching the
movie...

Yea, I was right... They have a discussion going on over at the
RadioReference forum. They have posted screen-shots from the movie. It is
clearly the Pro 47, 48 or 48a.
