Just a quick note, If you were that desparate to purchase an actual radio. You could have it programmed to receive only. Which will allow you to listen but if you tried to transmit, you would be Gonged out. Also if you had the availability to transmit, Valley Comm would be able to track you. Not a good idea. I recommend getting a scanner.

: If you want my opinion ,you wouldnt want a two way radio anyways because you wouldnt want to get caught talking on the same frequencies if your not supposed to be. on the other hand if you just want to scan that frequency to listen in on all conversations you should purchase a pro-94 trunk tracker and conventional 1000 channnel scanner from radio shack for $300-$400
