Hi Terri. I can't recommend a good police scanner app, but I can explain why the choices are decreasing. Within the past few years, many ares have gone digital. In other words, they're encrypting their transmissions, and you need a special code to decrypt them. Some places are giving the codes out, but others aren't. In a way, I can understand the latter thinking, because if using analog transmissions, the bad guys would know the cops were coming and quit their bad guy behavior. It's kind of sad, though, because I enjoyed listening to the police and fire. Both my Grandfathers and an uncle of mine were volunteer fire fighters, and my Grandparents on my Mom's side were perametics, so it was fun to hear what was going on. I also had the 10 codes of the local police for Lexington, Kentucky, where I live, so I could know pretty well what was happening.
Hope that, if it doesn't help, at least it sheds some light on what's happening. Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
