Scanners

Can anyone tell me what the PC card is called that you put in your computer to be able to have a police and fire scanner out of your computer? I know that you put the card in and attach the antenna right out of the back of the computer. THANKS

Radio Shack has a new scanner that will pick up digital signals. 2 of my friends have bought them. Radio Shack will also program all the local frequencies at time of purchase.

Kind of pricey though, a tad over $500.

I believe Uniden has them also.
