Use what you hear for personal gain (e.g. tow trucks listening for accidents to show up opportunistically at the scene)
Listen to transmissions relating to the following services :
&nbsp&nbsp&nbspcellular phones
&nbsp&nbsp&nbspcordless phones
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsppublic land mobile systems
&nbsp&nbsp&nbspvoice paging services
