I suppose it uses audio streams available over the internet since there is no way the HW can actually access the frequencies in question, see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...police+scanner
Supposing there some sort of clean API for getting the audio feed descriptions throwing something together in python shouldn't be hard, you might even try your own hand at programming (python is easy to learn, fun to use and mighty powerfull)

I've used and loved this app for a long time now. GREAT app on Android. The ABOUT info in the app points you to http://twitter.com/ScannerRadio for info.
When you tap "Area not listed?" it indicates that to add yourself to the list, you need to be listed at RadioReference.com, Wunderground.com or LiveFireFeeds.com (web sites this app uses to get audio).
You may want to use that information as a good starting point. Good luck!

I'm also confused that you're asking the app maker to bring it to the N900, considering there's not a lot of good reason for him to try. The app on Android makes money (there's a free ad-paid version, and a paid version). I sincerely doubt that the N900 gives him any reason to try. Still, good luck.
