[Scan-DC] Vintage books -- free to a good home (you pick up in Arlington)

[Steve Slate]

I remember these books well and using my BearCat 30 channel semi programmable scanner on 800 MHZ.  You could enter into 30 channels you heard signals on.  You could only hear one end of the conversation and it was almost impossible to follow it once it left the range of the nearest cell tower.  Those were the days when people with cell phones had no clue that people with scanners could hear everything they said.  And I couldn’t believe what they said.
