Hey everyone,I used to have a scanner and I could listen to everything basically from emergency to cell phones. I know stuff has changed a lot in the many years. Is there any way to listen to emergency services etc around Sask.?
I see people posting pics of there computer screen and reporting a few things. I’m in Regina and I hear a scanner feed that they rebroadcast. Just looking at if I could and what I would need to hear some fire police etc. any help would be great Thanks guys

Rural fire and EMS are on a VHF digital trunked system.
