havenBTS,

But there was nothing better than modifying a Pro-2004 or similar scanner to listen to analog cell phone calls!

and that is illegal, immoral, and very entertaining. i would never be caught doing it, and i wasn't !

I had the Pro-2022, advertised as "yes it is and yes it does" when I bought it on Ebay. The diode was already cut when I got it.

I certainly had my fun picking up not only the blue nokia cell phones that still existed at the time, but also the cordless phones in my apartment complex.

I even went so far as to put in a discriminator tap and start decoding pagers from the local hospitals, until one day I got all the gory details of someone with a rectal bleed.

That was too much information for me and I ended my voyeuristic ways.

And those who did realized quickly how BORING it was.

99% of calls: "Guess where I'm calling you from? MY CAR! <giggle, giggle>"
1% of calls: "Yeah, I got the motel room. Just tell your husband you're going shopping or something."

Depends on where you live! Some plow drivers (especially overnight) can be can be really animated characters and a hoot to listen to.

When they've been working for long periods of time they tend to get punchy on the radio lol

"Yeah, ok, so 1 gallon of milk, two dozen eggs.. anything else?"
"We asked for them to give us more TPS reports..."
etc. etc.

The Cabelas in Hamburg PA seems to be using a voice over IP or ISM radio now.

It's a square pendant with the letter P on it with headphones attached to it.

I clicked on the call sign listed on this site for their apparent previous system and it is showing expired.
I didn't catch activity on the frequencies listed for it. I will submit this to the database here about the current status.
