Product Description

Book Description

This wry, cynical and immensely entertaining book describes the scanner world, the people in it, the equipment they use and how they acquire and tune in to the 'secret' frequencies and listen to all kinds of supposedly private communications. Top radio clubs and experts have hailed this book as 'absolutely the best' and 'an indispensable tool'.

We have to make a stop at basic radio technology, because the reader can't move very far without a certain understanding of a few key concepts and terms. Read the first page

1.0 out of 5 stars outdated, Nov 16 2007

By Chris Stevens - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Scanners and Secret Frequencies (Paperback)

This book has a copyright date of 1995. Some of the information and laws have changed since this book has been written. The scanners that are on the market today did not exist 12 years ago, therefore most of the information on the scanner itself is hopelessly outdated. Other than radio theory which at times can be confusing, this book is a waste of time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Desperately needs an update, April 17 2008

By MDA - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Scanners and Secret Frequencies (Paperback)

All technology and frequencies referenced are over 15 years old at this point. That's several lifetimes in scanning. For example, trunking and digital transmission are referred to as future technologies! Sadly, as a result, over half of the book is obsolete to the point of being useless.

In its day it was deep enough to keep your average hobbyist busy for several years. Were the author to update it this would be one of the best reference manuals around.

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Scanners and Secret Frequencies (Paperback)

Great scanner book. Covers every aspect of the scanning industry. A must for all scanners and scanner wannabe's. Has frequencies and police termonology to everything else. I recomend this book to anyone who owns a scanner. Greatest scanner book i have & i have all of them.
