St. Louis Area Scanner Enthusiasts

The St. Louis Area Scanner Enthusiasts (StLASE) group is an association of likeminded individuals whose primary focus is monitoring public safety communications in and around the greater St. Louis area, though all other types of radio monitoring are supported and discussed.

Also welcomed are discussions related to the various types of wideband scanning receivers available from Alinco, AOR, Bearcat (Electra), Drake, Icom, Kenwood, Motorola, Radio Shack (Patrolman), Regency, Uniden, Yaesu, Yupiteru, and even Homebrew Equipment!

There are no formal membership procedures, secrete handshakes, ID cards, or dues, and you do not need to have an Amateur Radio (HAM Radio) License. Anyone wishing to make meaningful contributions, or just learn about the hobby are more than welcomed to join!

Below are the email addresses related to the St. Louis Area Scanner Enthusiasts (StLASE) group that you'll need to begin participating in this list:
