I checked out the shopping center for the first time today, which I think is fairly "new". I brought along my BC436, to scan and search.
Now, some properties don't allow dogs. Some properties don't allow smoking. Some don't allow smoking AND dogs.
Wiregrass, allows dogs, they even allow cigar smoking. Normally when I do go scanning, I keep it clandestine if I already know what and who I'm listening to, with earbuds and the scanner out of sight.
Today, with my dog in one hand, cigar in the other, scanner on my lap, I just happened to be sitting on a bench in front of the customer service kiosk.
I caught the tail end of a transmission "......and he has a walkie talkie". Thank you, you just gave me the security frequency for the center. (will be submitted)
Five minutes later, security approaches me, was very friendly and professional, told me the dog was fine, smoking was fine, but the scanner was NOT allowed on property.
I complied, turned it "off".... with a twist of the top knob, and stuck it in my pocket. He was satisfied with that. No further contacts.
Like I said, I DO normally keep things on the low down, but when you're trying to discover new frequencies, without being able to look at the screen immediately, it's frustrating.
So, if any members plan on going there, keep the scanner out of sight.
