I actually don't give a shit. You'd get bored after an hour of playing it, just like IV.

Yeah, well what is it? a stringed walkie-talkie or something?

Ah yes, because radios are directly equivalent to quite short, relatively dull games.

Everyone knows that.

The similarities are mind-boggling.

Scientists have tried to disprove the fact that GTA IV and radios are exactly the same thing. But they failed.

Can you listen to police frequences with that

You can't with that particular radio as its more geared for amateur bands and is not a general coverage receiver (i already have one of those).

You CAN listen to a lot of public service radio freqs if you have a "trunking" receiver/scanner. They really aren't that expensive anymore.

I love just sitting at the HF receiver and listening for distant stuff. Playing with the antennas to see how far I can get. Its a shame that all the new fangled tech is shoving shortwave off to the side. When I was a kid I'd spend hours listening to some pretty cool stuff.

I havea recording of a shortwave radio show where some guy was a huge conspiracy nut talking about aliens and stuff. He'd get in the dumbest verbal arguments. It was hilarious.
