Have you ever watched a live breaking news story on CNN and wondered, 'hey, whats really going on there?' Or if you are a news media agency ever wondered why your correspondents are not on the scene before the rival news teams? Softcanner is a 'software radio scanner', it enables you to tune into many interesting frequencies located all over the world, including police, fire, 911 despatch rooms, and air traffic control towers. Hear the breaking stories live as they occur in real-time.

You can even receive LIVE ACARS flight data for any flight you hear! No radio equipment needed!

Using softscanner, you dont need to invest in expensive specialist equipment and antenna arrays. Even with all the specialist equipment and huge antenna or dish arrays, you still couldnt listen to NYPD from say, California for example, because the NYPD's equipment just doesnt have the power or range necessary to push the signal that far.

With SoftScanner you can. Right from your desktop pc or your laptop. With no expensive additional hardware.

This software is aimed at News Agencies, and enthusiasts anywhere and should not be used for illegal purposes or as an aid to criminal or malicious activities.
