So here in Abilene we have the Robertson unit as well as Middleton. Robertson is an actual state prison where Middleton is a transfer facility. I'm wondering, are the tdcj repeaters linked? I'll here usually at this time of the morning [5:00-8:00 am] with units calling in that they are 3 or 4...

I am having a really hard time hearing anything from the Austin Police scanner. Has anyone else been having this issue? Some days it will work fine, then others there is absolute silence. Just wondering if it's user error or the frequency they are on. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

My father greatly enjoyed his Radio Shack 300-Channel Trunk Tracker Scanner for quite some time. He just passed and I haven't even turned it on yet because if he has programmed specific channels or other personal choices I don't want to chance losing a part of his history. I live in the...

I've got a Radio shack Pro-2096 coming in to a local RS store for $250 (brand new in box) - as you know, the 2096's are being cleared out. I'm new to scanning, and want to scan all the local PD, FD, sherriff, etc. I've been looking around, and trying to figure out if the Pro-2096 is the...

I was driving southbound on I-45 and when all of a sudden it broke out on the northbound side. There were so many agencies involved and I was jumping between the sheriff, constable, hpd, etc. And was pretty close to where the suspect turned over a police car when they passed me on the other...
