[Electronics-talk] Scanner Frequencies

[Sean Paul]

There has been allot of discussion here recently about whether the Home 
Patrol can or can not be used by visually impaired users. I for 1 think with 
some memorization perhaps some limited use  can be achieved. After you get 
some sighted assistance in setting the scanner up. Just my opinion as I have 
never actually used one beyond just looking at one very briefly & the 
limited reading I have done regarding the radio. Also there has been much 
discussion on this list as well as others regarding the use of different 
Police Scanners as well as other monitoring devices by those of us who are 
blind & visually impaired. It was requested of me to start a list for those 
persons who are scanner users. As well as those who are interested in 
becoming scanner users in the future. So, after much consternation I have 
done just that.
If you are interested in joining the list. Please send a blank email to 
Monitoring_Blind-subscribe at yahoogroups.com So as we may conduct discussions 
of said devices on that list & keep list traffic to other devices on this 
list. Thanks so much. I look forward to seeing you all very soon.
