Multiple scanners

[scannerman200]

I have five scanner radios. Would some one suggest a power outlet that would hold this many scanner ac cords?

Just go to about any store and look to see what one would work best for you.

Hi scannerman

Try this link. I've got 3 of these Power Squid Multipliers. It's the best thing I ever used for electronics with the bulky power converters.

Not a bad idea ksabo.

If you're using mobile units at home you might also want to look at this:

You'll need to provide your own power supply and make sure that you have the 12-volt harness for the radio(s) you'll be hooking up. After that all you need to do is order the connectors to splice/solder onto your harness(es) and you're in business.

These guys have a couple products that might work like this....

Liberator Y Splitter

Or this 8 outlet strip.

I would go high tech and buy a UPS with 6 outlets - 5 for the scanners and one for a lamp.

I get cross-eyed trying to listen to 2 scanners at the same time.

I listen to 3 to 5 on a regular basis, and swtich on more if something good happens. I would guess that most people do a similar thing that I do: It is easy to pick out one scanner to focus on and ignore the others, but I sample the others for something out of the ordinary. I don't really listen to the words, I listen to voice patterns and emotion. Its hard to describe - it is sort of a 'Zen' thing. If you are not relaxed, it is difficult to do.

I work typing all day.
One on-line scanner going, 2 here at the house, TV on, 2 year old running around and still catching it all.

Its just a learned thing.

I have a 4 foot power strip that I purchased at Frys Electronics. All the outlets are spaced apart so you can have many scanners plugged in.

Here is one similar to mine:
