Audio quality is so good. Chicago police really have a tough job. 5-0 radio is way better than both of these listed hands down. Audio quality is so good. Chicago police really have a tough job.

Does anyone know if this app is able to get the 800 mhz ch that a personal scanner has? Or is this app running off the old scanner frequency? Thanks I am new to this and saw the police scanner on the g.sons ipod touch. Does anyone know if this app is able to get the 800 mhz ch that a personal scanner has?

I often forget to look under the main iPhone settings. Great to know I change this.@Jim Police Scanner and Emergency Radio both stream their feeds over the Internet. So, true your iPhone will not be a "true" police scanner. Each app only provides transmissions from a specific set of stations, the app can't actually scan and find nearby frequencies. For a list of available stations visit the app's website.@Hugh Recent reviews for Police Scanner are very positive. And the low-star ratings mostly want more cities. Pretty much the same results for Emergency Radio — positive ratings except for users that want their city added. @Cory Thanks for the info! I often forget to look under the main iPhone settings.

Is there a server that snatches the material off the air and then put it on the internet. Surely this does not convert the iPhone into a scanning receiver. So, how does this thing work?

It's not as good as Emergency Radio's ability to do it without leaving the app, but it's there, and can be anything you set it to. Just thought I'd point that out.
