“I had been in the hobby before and when the times kept us home I looked at it again. I started looking and found that what I knew wasn’t current. Ordered new scanner and was amazed how complicated they could appear. Not many resources as well developed as Scanner School. Started at the beginning...”Read full review »

“Hello from The Philippines, originally from the USA! I'm a radio scanner listener since 1983, however I'm now blind for 25 months, preventing me from using my radio equipment, so I listen to ScannerRadio Pro & LiveATC all the time.

Saved me many hours on my own and even had I done so, I would not have gotten nearly as far as I did with a simple call/screen share....”Read full review »

“One of the few scanner-related podcasts that’s lasted more than a few episodes, though we’ll see how much longer the host can come up with topics for. I’ve been in the hobby for 40 years now, but still learn things from the host & his guests.
The downside:
Not all the guests really are...”Read full review »

“This guy fails to call out uniden for their bad/defective new scanners. Every episode is filled with errors and just false information that true scanner users can clearly notice and call out in a heartbeat. There are way better scanner podcasts that are truthful and well more educated.”
