Today's highest-end scanners are faster and loaded with features. Innovations such as dynamically-allocated memory, alpha-displays, computer control/programming, P25, trunking, etc. are fantastic. Even with all these great new features, today's highest-end scanner is no different from the crystal-controlled scanners of the 1980s in one key respect - they can only scan one channel at a time.
Today, an entire receiver can be put on one small chip. Imagine a bank of such chips, say 10 of them, in one scanner. Imagine your scanner being able to scan 10 (or more!) systems ALL AT THE SAME TIME. The user simply assigns priorities to the systems in order of which one gets the speaker should activity appear on more than one scanned system simultaneously. One should also be able to group systems to the same priority code, the same way a quick key can be assgned to multiple systems. No longer would I miss a call on the local PD system because the scanner was busy scanning through the federal system.
Make sense? Simple concept, no? I call it "Simul-Scan". Royalties can be paid directly to me. My address is good on the FCC ULS under amateur license n0xmz.
