I'm listening to the same scan...IF ANYONE HAS A RADIO, WE NEED TO TELL THE RADIO OPERATORS TO STOP DISPATCHING INFORMATION ON TROOP/GOOD GUY MOVEMENTS..
FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW WHY, IT'S BECAUSE THE BAD GUYS CAN HAVE SCANNERS TOO AND EITHER A) BE PREPARED WHEN THE TROOPS GET THERE OR B) PREPARE AN AMBUSH OR C) SCATTER BEFORE THEY'RE CAUGHT..
Looters don't carry scanners.
They can't, this is the only common freq between the military units, the police, and the hospitals.
You may note the large number of people instructing others to call them on cell phones, though. I'll leave it to your imagination as to why.
Having worked with law enforcement, I can tell you that they are not on the public channels relaying detailed info. That's why there is so little chatter. The most you hear is a request for help. There is no feedback afterwards because they use different channels.
I doubt the bad guys can figure out a scanner. These aren't sophisticated terrorists.
