 LOL... I thought it might have been you xerubus. I drove past this on Monday and saw a guy walking round in civies with what looked like a D70. Good coverage of the incident once again.

Mark,

Good gear Uniden. I'm using a Uniden UBC92XLT in the car and as a portable. I also use a Jabro Blue tooth head set that is connected to the scanner via a Jabro Blue Tooth transmitter box (new product) . This means the scanner can be placed discreetly in a back pack, under your jacket or if left in the car up to say 10 metres away if you taking a shot you can still get all the action in your ear.
