I've been listening to the DC police during the protests this weekend, and
have heard repeated references to video downlinks from both the MPD
"Falcon" and Park Police "Eagle" helicopters. Does anybody know how these
are implemented and what frequencies they use? Is it analog, digital,
satellite, or what? And, most importantly... could you pick these
transmissions up with a scanner that does video like the IC-R3
(http://www.icomamerica.com/receivers/handheld/icr3main.html)?
