[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 258481, member: 10543"] I've carried various railroad frequency scanners for 30+ Years. They cannot transmit -- they're receivers only, so cannot interfere with any transmissions. I carry one much like what's in your link. Many years ago I bought a super-duper telescoping antenna, supposedly tuned for rail frequencies. It works well, but it's kind of unwieldy, so I put it on only when I find a grand spot that I'm willing to set up and wait at. Otherwise, I keep the "rubber ducky" antenna on. I fabricated a mount for my scanner in my truck, easy on easy off and good reception: [URL]http://blg.nikonsrc.com/image/NYEanqfcRgLMPoFOq1akcK7fMuUIYwHc1Q_II5Lxegm6wyHU9dE8JQmtoKug6n4_vWgJX930eKw/item.JPG?rot=1[/URL] "Train Paparazzi" -- that's funny! Probably a good thing that you shoved off upon hearing your presence announced. I've done the same. [/QUOTE]
