You add a card or connect certain external devices to make a PC a scanner.

You can listen to live streams ala the various streaming protocols like live365, teamspeak and others, but you have to listen to only what is streamed.

My sister just got a scanner for christmas and we have been trying to figure out how to use it....

We're basically not sure how to enter a station and the directions aren't really helping much.
We got a list from radioshack of frequencies but we're completely lost.

thx =] merry christmas

Turn the scanner on.
Press manual (to stop it from scanning).
Press 1 (or any channel you want), then manual.
You'll be then ready to enter a freq. on that Ch. (to Ch. 1 if you chose that one).
Enter the freq. (as an example: press 1, then 5, then 5, then ., then... -- or whatever), then press E (enter).
Done!

I have a 300 channel dual trunking hand held programmable scanner. I had if for about 5 years and in the past year or so it hasn't been working properly. I can't get good reception, and all I can get is local agencies (such as police fire rescue etc) and when I get the weather frequencies (NOAA Weather) even they come in very poor. I tried changing batteries, antennas, and even using the antenna for my base scanner, and I still get poor reception. I even tried inirializing it (Clearing the whole memory) and I still have problems. I tried my hand held scanner I take to work with me (this is only 10 channels and I use it for work only) and the weather comes in very clear, and other frequencies come in very clear as well. So what could be wrong with the scanner? Did something break inside the unit?

There could be a problem with the antenna connection inside or you could have lost a preamplifier stage in the scanner. There are other possibilities as well. The best thing is to take it into a shop and see what it might cost to have it fixed. Then you can decide if you want to fix it, buy a new scanner, or suffer with the way it is now working. Good luck.

scanner signals?
I have an older scanner and I can only receive weather signals
do I need a new digital scanner?

Bart - I have been a scanner listener for years and I have never heard of "broadband" when it comes to scanners. Are you sure you don't mean "digital"?

Your best bet is to go down to your local Radio Shack and ask them what type of scanner you need for your town or city.

You may not need an expensive digital scanner. It all depends on what type of radio system your police use.
