Although this will seem like a strange thing to do, I wanted a scannner installed in the car. The installation was actually pretty easy. I think I should have chosen a much better antenna, but that will probably happen later.

what do you do with it?

I'm an amateur radio operator (HAM) and I use it to listen to radio fequencies. You can hear the police, CHP, TV, CB, FRS and a variety of other air wave frequencies. Plus its a Uniden Bearcat so it alerts you when you are within 3 miles of a CHP vehicle.

That kinda of cool. I remember sitting listening to the scanner at my aunt's house when I was a kid. Very entertaining.

Just CHP? What about local or NHP. I'm in Orange County.

Cool Beans! I have a 1994 Radio Shack scanner that gets all the frequencies. Baby Monitors, Cordless phones, Police, everything.
After they put the chip in to cancel cordless phones in 1995, they were not as fun.
