For some reason I was under the impression that one could break the tuning dial on an old stereo so that it could pick up lower channels that aren't available publicly such as police broadcasts.

So instead of the tuner stopping at 88 Mghz (sp?), if you broke that stopper plate or whatever it's called, you could continue to scan channels lower than this.

Also, I heard that by doing such a thing, that it was considered to be illegal.

Anyway, I do have a N800. So is there anything I can try to get such a result?
