scanner needed

Beloxi · Post by **Beloxi** » 27 Dec 2004, 18:27

Does somebody know where I can buy a new scanner at an interesting price? I know it's still forbidden to use it in Belgium, but maybe there's a shop in Holland, close to the Belgian border.

Greetz,
Nik

Hello Nik,

You can buy scanners at the Luchtvaart Hobby Shop (http://www.lhshop.nl) near Schiphol but when looking on the website of the Pilot Shop at Lelystad (http://www.pilotshop.nl) and comparing the prices it seems that they are quite cheaper than the Luchtvaart Hobby Shop. there will probably be more places to buy scanners but that's all I know.

I've been looking to buy one myself in the near future, does somebody knows which one is the best?

Regards,
Kristof

Thanks for the reply Kristof. I know the Luchtvaart Hobby Shop, but I thought there were maybe shops much closer, in Middelburg or Sluis.

In India you can get a scanner for about Rs.4000 so that would be like about 80 Euros. The best ones would be around 100 Euros. HP, Cannon, Sony.

& may i please ask, why is it forbidden to use a scanner in Belgium

Let me know if you want it, and i can ship it from here.

Hey Advisor,

I think you'll find these guys here are talking about VHF scanners to listen to Aircraft and not the flat bed scanner you are, for now it's illegal to listen to the aircraft on a scanner but not to scan pages from a book - at least not for now !

A couple of years ago i bought my scanner in Sluis. It was a small shop located in the center of sluis, who had a good selection of scanners. I cannot remember the name!

Thanks, I know now. Merci.

If that was a call to ban the useage of scanners in all european countries I Vote NO <<<<

It isnt like it is personal information on people that is given out.

Ive had my scanner from radioshack for about 3 years, Good stuff . . . Passes alot of boredom 8)

thanks for the info B737229. One of my first scanners also came from Sluis, but I thought the shop was gone. I'll go and have a look tomorrow, and I'll buy myself a late christmas present.

I bought mine (a simple Maycom AR-108) on Ebay 2 years ago for 40,00 EUR + 7,00 EUR shipping (from a german).
with the built-in antenna, I might receive airborne aircrafts (over Belgium territory) and Brussels Approach (with noise)
if I would attach an 'external' antenna (simple home-made di-pole), I would additonally receive both Brussels Tower frequencies, brussels ground frequecies, some taxiing & docked aircrafts and also Brussels ATIS information (meteo, runway usage (!) ).

But of course, I don't use in in Belgium. 8)

Oh, and I live near Mechelen. (app. 16 km from brussels airport).

I got my scanner a long time ago in a shop in Breda, possibly the well reputed shop from above, called Jacobs Breda Electronics... I bought alot of stuff there, scanner stuff and cb stuff, very good service, prices back then were very ok, and not far from the center of Breda, pretty easy to find...

Have a look at : http://www.jbe.nl/

Hi people,

I got a question about this topic. If I buy a scanner and use it in Belgium (only recieving ofcourse 8O ), what would be the chance that they trace the signal? And is it actually possible to trace it?

Why do you people say 'i don't use it in belgium'?

not possible to trace, but police isn't stupid, they know spotters do use scanners, and they have the right to search your car, your stuff and your person so there's quite some chance you'll get busted in case of a routine-control

Can I ask a question.
If I go to EBBR by bus (271) and I have headphones can police catch me?
P.S.: I walked long the runway 25L last friday and saw many people with scanners.
