Make laptop into a emergency Radio scanner
Calling all IT techs ,
Is there away to turn a laptop into a police scanner or a
emergency Radio scanner ,
I do have a emergency Radio etc. But once the shtf and no internet I want to be able to use it (laptop) for something other than watching films I do have a external hard drive with 3tb of fims on it , I have a usb dvb-t2 292e nanostick hd tv tuner i did read once that the USB can be turned into a police scanner or a emergency Radio scanner using some software, which would be ideal if shtf or extra backup to my emergency Radio

Too late. Already have it.

Got my SDR plugged into the Linux laptop with GNUradio right now.

I too thought of the need for seasons of tv shows to be in my preps. Cut that list down to a rain coat and a knife. I doubt it will matter what is going on 1/3 of a mile away if things get bad enough I'd consider using a knife against anything living

They have similar ones for around ten bucks and they work great with the proper software.
