Looks like we got us a CONVOY

I`d always wanted a UHF transciever in me car.

Now I have. It`s also a Police scanner, which is utterly hilarious, you think nothing happens in your backwater town, I got news for you and its all bad

Best call so far was yesterday, Dispatcher: What are you up to at the moment mate?

Cop: Ahhhh, I`ve got a report on some dirt bike noise ( every other call is for dirt bikes it seems )

Dispatcher: We`ve got a call on a Thrifty rental bus with 17 people on board, travelling around the pubs of Boonah ( country town ) acting up.

Cop: ( wisely ) Errrrr, I`ll check out this dirt bike thing, then go out and have a captain hook at that Boonah thing...

Dispatcher: Yeah, informant says they are headed to the next pub and said they gonna trash the place, apparently they are getting their gear off and causing trouble.. ( !!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I was tempted to drive out and watch.

Back to the radio, it has a detachable remote face, so I mounted the main unit under my console, and the head part which is barely an inch thick just down under the ashtray, takes up little space.

10-4..

I love police scanners...you get to listen in on some pretty hilarious stuff sometimes. I hated them when I was in high school though, cause my grandparents, and aunt had one. I couldn't get away with anything. By the time I got home from a party, or just general teenage mischief, my parents knew everything.

I used to listen in with a dollar store walkie talkie once in a while you could hear a cop if you let it sit there on.

ive got a 100 channel handheld scanner that i play with on the weekends sometimes.
i found all the codes online and i went to radioshack and they gave me a printout of cops,fire,etc. codes
i got it for $5 at a yard sale.

best fun was leaving one of my hand held UHF walkie talkie ( thats talkie walkie in French ) turned on and left on my work desk behind the computer desks.

Knowing my step son would be here on the comp, as I drove home from the shop I grabbed my car UHF Mic and " TYSON!!!" scared the BJZ outa him

How can anyone hear "Convoy" and not want to drive a truck? I remember the first time it played after I started driving, I almost ran off the road from laughing so hard.

billy · 11-21-2007, 05:33 AM

what exactly would these truckers do AFTER they crashed through a police barricade?
just deliver their loads like nothing happened?

That's what I did, right after I stopped at the Choke and Puke to go 10-33.
