Some of you know about my hobby of radios and scanners. This app falls right in line with that hobby, yet it is very useful for just about everyone. Scanner Radio lets you listen to volunteer's scanners across the country. The only real downfall to this app is it doesn't cover everyone, due to it being volunteer submissions. Even so, it can be a useful tool when large events are taking place, like highway closures or severe weather.Also, some areas are going to digital radio systems, which require expensive scanners to listen to. Locally, KDOT, KHP, Reno and Russell counties have switched, or are in the process of switching.
I can say that Reno and Saline counties are covered by this app locally, as are almost every larger city you would visit. Pawnee County and LaCrosse are listed, but were offline at the time of writing this article.
