I happened to be watching a episode of "Persons of Interest" & they showed a shot of the police woman (Carter) radio.
It was a PRO-135 200ch scanner.
I know myself & others have picked up on odd radio items that have been used in movies and TV series in the past.

There's what looks like an Icom R71 HF receiver on the shelf on the Big Bang Theory. It's been there for a few seasons.

Burn Notice.

Pro 83 from seasons 1-4
Pro 107 from season 5 onwards.

Watching season 5 tonight i was even amazed how well a bug worked even when the 107 was in menu mode :)

Cheers

Spotted this 996 in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security agent's 4X4 on Border Rico last night. Wonder what they listen to?

Anyone that has seen the latest James Bond movie Spectre will notice in the scene were they are in the Tangier desert at the research base that the microwave dishes on the dome building are mounted below the crater ridge line of the surrounding hills. Microwave link = fail !
They would have been better off with some satelite dishes.

In the latest movie "The fate of the furious" you will see two scanners sitting on the bench in the workshop that they are listening to the police on.
You will get a front view of what looks like a Grecom PSR-600.
