    Hello.
    I found an old radio in the basement with such frequencies that theoretically should give advice and overhearing police channels, etc. and I wonder if you could overheat the police channels or guard for it if it supports such frequencies or there are some obstacles I do not know, because in All in all I do not know electronics very much :D

    Regulations point 3.1.16. Do not send questions that can be easily found on the Internet or in the electrode forum.

    Frequencies are not everything. The type of signal modulation (amplitude, frequency, phase) is also important.
    You must also know that any use of information obtained through such a watch is punishable.
    I must also worry you. These services are provided by mobile phones and provide important information in this way. :-)

    In Bialystok, apparently, the encryption broke down ;-)

    Interesting things, Waćpan, you write ...
    Except for the exceptions (Tetra, Ericcson, Hytera, etc.) in our country in the "blue bands" FM modulation reigns supreme. The same in Health Service, PSP, PKP. Apparently there are plans for switching to the Tetra system, but how many years have you heard about it ...

    A few years ago, I heard such a conversation in a regular FM radio, of course, in the radio band they had to set something wrong because they were stifling the reception of the radio. As for legality, it is rather legal that it is not like the air band.

    The listening is completely legal, you can not transmit in these frequencies.


    That's right, the listening is legal. In addition to the fact that you can not transmit it, you can not share the information heard on this band.

    You will not hear anything interesting, as you mentioned from the Police, you will only hear messages of the type that the patrol will go to an address without details, the investigators use their cells. You will not hear much from the Fire Brigade, I only heard messages that the unit, eg number 1, goes to the action and how many people in the car and that they arrived at the action, maybe because I had a weak antenna and I did not hear the messages from the base. You can listen but you can not share the information you have gained from listening, so you can not use the radio in public so that the outsider can not hear it because the relevant services can include confidential information :) .

    The topic seems to have been exhausted and all important information has already been heard.
    @ death15331 If you want to play, buy a frequency scanner.

    You can listen without interruption, but you can not pass on the information you hear. You have to remember about it. Whereas now the services have gone digital, so you will not hear too much. You can play because you can learn something about how the radio works.

    Ambulance Service or Border Guard will you listen?

    All of Kujawsko-Pomorskie, most of Podkarpackie, Podlasie, Warmian-Masurian and many other regions have long been in DMR.

    In Fire Brigade and on the railways yes.

    He would play if he led the discriminator and the receiver connected to a computer with a special softphone, eg DSD.

    What kind of equipment and what frequencies does it cover?

    In Dolnośląskie, still a lot of "human harm" flies in analog, but for someone to listen to passionately for hours, because sensitive data does not fly in the "open" ether, only digital communication or cellular networks.

    * "Human harm" - blue, PSP, health service.

    One could listen to analogue telephone radiolinks in villages - heh, life itself, good hstorie, and even wishes for various occasions could be learned quite well.

    And to think that the NMT450 has long since shut down, and the bandwidth to this day is unused.

    They have been poisoning about LTE450 for several years, but nothing comes of it.

    I once listened to several nearby hams, a few VHF repeaters, the Straż, Police, PKP, PMR, Radio Taxi, sentries at a nearby polygon, a military airport tower with nearby airplanes (in AM), ISS station, motor hangers, ships on the Oder river, several captains and ports.
    And a passing balloon. :)

    All information has already been provided. If the subject's author does not feel satisfied, let him look for information on the subject on the electrode. It has already been written about it many times. There is no point in duplicating this information again.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of using an old radio to eavesdrop on police and guard frequencies. Key points include the importance of signal modulation types and the legal implications of listening to such communications. Many responders noted that police communications are often encrypted, making them inaccessible to standard radios. Some users suggested alternatives like purchasing a terrestrial digital TV receiver based on RTL2832U for broader frequency access. The conversation also highlighted that while listening is generally legal, sharing the information obtained is not. The current trend shows a shift towards digital communication, limiting the effectiveness of traditional analog radios for monitoring police and emergency services.
