WOULDN'T IT BE GOOD IF.....

Post by AIRMAN »

Would it be good if a manufacturer made a scanner to look just like a mobile phone!
Same size, same look and an inbuilt antenna. Security people at airports would even give a second glance.

Even better a scanner about the same size as an iPod Nano.......the mind boggles!

Anyone here know of any scanners available here that might be close?

I think this one is a start....

Does it work as well as the big boys though?

That is really small ! I know you can get apps etc for Ipod touch's or whatever you call them that lets you listen to scanner audio from the U.S etc but if your phone, igoogle, PDA etc has itunes/real player etc and can listen to streamed audio you could always set up a stream and be able to connect im not too sure about costs though ?

Anybody here own the 'slimline' Alinco model as shown on this link?

Just wondered how it performed.
