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...

radio shack's site only has 1 scanner called the Patrolman, the Pro-1.
does he have the first scanner they ever made?

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...

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

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.

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!
