I saw this the other day and knew better than to fall for this unbelievable deal. So, as usual, I overrode common sense and bought it anyway. That was two days ago and it just arrived. It's the real deal and works better than excellent. It's usually $499 but $69 at the site below.

Uniden - Home Patrol Program Scanner

It's here: http://www.brandsmartusa.com/SearchProducts/Any/Any/Any/scanners/UGFnZSgxKStTaXplKDEyKStTb3J0KDUpK0Rpc3BsYXlBbGwoRmFsc2Up0

Okay, sir, stay on the line. We have officers on the way to your location.

If you have an iphone or ipad, check out the app "5.0 Radio Pro".

You can listen into scanner feeds from nearly all over the world.

You could have a ambulance drive by your house in Florida with it's sirens on and from Calif., I could tell you where it is going and what the emergency is.

Best of all it's less than $5 and there is a free lite version.

It's interesting to read a breaking news headline of some emergency (riot, fire, crime, natural diaster) and tune into the response feed and listen in live.
An example is the recent Chris Dorner shootout.

Only drawback is you have to have a 3G signal.

During Katrina we had an emergency scanner because my son would occasionally ride with a family friend who was a deputy and he got all the codes to unlock everything. My wife stayed awake for about two days glued to the scanner as there was just so much going on: people going the wrong way on I59 as they would just weave back and forth between the sides of the Interstate looking for a way through causing a head on or two and making one h%$$ of a snarl between here and Hattiesburg; people dying of heart attacks out in the boonies and the emergency people talking back and forth trying to find a way to them through the blocked roads; myraid calls for first responders who couldn't get where they needed to get; false alarms and paranoid babbling by unhinged people; stuff like that.
That was the last time I have listened to a scanner- it's gonna be hard to top that.
