Talk to a real person before you buy

We program every scanner by hand, so there is always someone here who can answer a question about your specific area. If you are not sure whether your county is still analog, send us your zip code and we will tell you honestly what a scanner can and cannot pick up there.

How to reach us

Where we are

What we can help with

  • Coverage check. Send your zip code and we will confirm what is receivable in your area before you spend a dollar.
  • Choosing a model. Not sure which handheld fits your needs or budget? Tell us how you plan to use it.
  • Programming for a different address. Buying a gift, or listening to a different county than where it ships? Just tell us the zip code you want loaded.
  • Help after your scanner arrives. Questions about scanning, channel banks, or squelch? We will walk you through it.
  • Orders, shipping, and returns. See our Returns & Refunds and Shipping Policy pages, or just ask.
