The above is true, 2 of the 3 the scanners I have are the trunking type, and are useless for FD and PD applications, so I just keep these for the occasional NASCAR race, saves me the rentals fees at the track.
As I stated before, there are cell phone apps for this, but most contain annoying advertising, and possible other side effects. My security software always gives me warnings on these apps because they have wide ranging access to the phone which all seems unnecessary.

Hope this helps.
