local shop watch freq listening ?

Post by gmham »

If I get say SDR play and suitable software how easy would it be for me to listen into the local shop watch channel in dunfermline ? appreciate I am relying on the freq being non encrypted - anyone aware if this is the case !
if I choose to go down the route off getting one off the cheap digital dual band handie / scanners available via ebay how easy would it be to listen in without knowing the relevant code etc ?

not sure if to go the sdr route or digital scanner dual bander ?
