I've read where some people record with their scanner 24/7 and was wondering, for those who do, if you actually listing to all or most of it. I could understand it if you're in a small city but a large city would be quite difficult.
Also, do you record everything in your local area or certain agencies?
Personally I like to record the air bands in case there's an emergency or mishap. But still there are many airports in the Los Angeles area that I'm able to pick up.
Just this weekend there was a small airplane crash at an airport about 20 miles South of me. I wasn't home when it happened but my scanner was set to record. Unfortunately it didn't record any airport traffic but I did hear the LAPD talking about it when it happened on the talk-around frequency.
The biggest "unfortunate" is that the pilot died in the crash, very sad.
Here's the link to the news story if you want to read it.

Anyway, just wanted to get your thoughts on your scanner recordings.
