Two Way Police Radio

directly in case of an emergency....I know this can be done, can I do it....why or why not?

You can only purchase scanners of police frequencies. Retail outlets that sell transmitters, don't sell to individuals, unless they're a part of the police agency...sorry.... emergency and police traffic only.

this is a police radio we are selling on ebay

I have had all types of cb's, I want one that I can program the channels and not have them preset. I am an EMT and want the ability to program the channels to my own unit not owned by the company.. I understand not being allowed to have access to the swat channels but I want to have all of the others ranging from 20-25mhz up to the150mhz- 300mhz channels. We can buy scanners that will listen to them why or what and how do I need to list it on google or wny search engine...??

Radio Shack sells hand-held scanners that will receive almost all frequencies. Or just google hand-held scanner. Many police channels are digital now, so you would have to see if there are digital capable hand-held scanners. I don't think it would be a good idea to get a radio that you could transmit on. You would need written permission to transmit on another agencies frequency. Without this, you could face legal action.

I have a cheapo Motorola two-way radio, it is a good radio, just doesn't have a lot of features, it can go about 2 miles. But my question is, if a police officer wanted to, in their car or with their radio, are they able to hear my transmissions? Thanks.

Uggh.... ¬_¬ You don't need a license for these radios... You can buy them anywhere... Radio Shack, Dicks Sporting Goods, etc.... And no, it's not drugs, My son and I are planning a prank on his friend, the neighbor, and the police frequently monitor our neighborhood every 30-minutes or so.

No, it's a different frequency. A scanner would be able to pick up your transmission.

Well, you can't really get a multipurpose 2-way radio, but you can get a scanner that can receive only. Radio shack usually carries them if you want to get one quick to play with, but I would do a lot of research before selecting a scanner, including looking up the frequencies of your local PD, airports, etc and making sure to get a scanner that covers them all. Also, a lot of large depts like police use trunking radios, and you'd need a certain (more expensive) scanner to make sure you could hear those.

Here is a pretty good primer on them

though it's older so some of the reference models are obsolete or discontinued.
