Within the parking lot maybe a little further.
1 mile on a good day,they are maybe 1 or 2 watts the one here had to install a in store repeater.

On a little handheld scanner you should be able to hear them about a 1/2 mile to maybe a mile on a good clear day.
If signals are weak turn your portable upside down, that's how they hold them. If you still can't hear wait until the fat Wal Creature gets out of the way.

As to the OP, I live about a mile from our WalMart, and every once and a while I can pick them up at my house, but that's not the norm. For me, it's usually around 1/2 mile or so. My mom uses their pharmacy, so while she's in there getting her meds, I'm out in the lot being nosey.
I thought that was the mascot! Someone's got to be inside.

I've written a new textbook, "Monitoring Walmart: Coping Mechanisms of Encryption Victims"
Probably a good book. You are an authority on the subject. :lol: :lol:

Yes, I think I should be getting my 10-year chip pretty soon. Personally, I cope by living vicariously through other county's PDs. And lotsa fire calls... and CHP.... and Lifeguards...

For those of us who are normal-sized & have been to any sort of ham/SWL/scanner social event, it's really funny to have radio-geeks here mock fat people & Walmart.
True. I've been to ham fests where I had to deter to a different isle because of very...LARGE people.

I plan to write the sequel to Radio Daze's Walmart book. It will be titled, "Walmart Monitoring: When You Positively, Absolutely Have Nothing Else To Do."
