I have been a scanning hobbyist now for years 25 to be specific
(crystals in the ole regency 8 channel). This is a fantastic hobby
welcome aboard. Things are very exciting in the hobby and it keeps
getting better.

Cellulars?? One word. Boring. Yes there is some cellular activity
but not much as most have moved to digital. Literally you get maybe
two to three hits over the spectrum as compared to 10 years ago when
you would get hundreds.

Cellulars aside, there is soooooo much to be heard. My advice, take
your scanner and search from 0 to how ever high it goes. Do this
first before plugging in any channels and just test the waters. Its
amazing what can be heard out there.

Good luck.

stumbled upon the cell scanning issue.
I curious as to if its still possible. For what I understand is not illegal
in Canada unless contents of the com
are revealed.
Isn't it that most of phones in this days work on digital networks out of
scanners reach ??

Im sure this question has been asked many times before but since Im new, I
couldn't find recent material on this.

Comments will be apprecciated.
