PoPo Scanner
Research & Development
circa 1989 & 2016
History:
Back in the '80s, one of my favorite devices from childhood was a Radio Shack Multi-frequency Short & Long Wave analog manual radio. It was huge and had several degrees of fine-tuning so that you could discover weak but clear signals/voices. So when I would listen to the radio, I could mentally travel to China, CCCP, BBC, France, or listen to Morris Code and other non-descriptive languages on VHF, UHF, to enrich my understanding.
Since computers were not readily available or affordable in the '80s, I would have to memorize the frequencies and use manual tuning, so you could hope to achieve the same station or broadcast station(s) from the following evening.
Above is my R&D POC prototype, pocket Windows computer, Software-defined radio (SDR), custom algorithm, software modifications, a broad Spectrum antenna, a Blue tooth antenna, a WiFi detector, blah, blah, blah...
KISS:
When I was in High School-1988, I heard students whose Families or friends got raided by the Police. So because these students seemed so traumatized by the Police, I came up with a KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) Popo-Scanner.
In 1988 my POC (proof of concept) used a Radio Shack analog spectrum radio to measure the strength of specific radio frequencies (not decipher them). In turn, I would let them know if 'Law enforcement was in your location or approach. :)
Hack:
Since Law enforcement used radios (at specific frequencies), as the Police were physically getting closer to the house, the spectrum radio-meter would receive the increase in radio "signal strength" and at a predetermined signal strength, it would cause the piezoelectric alarm to signal. This alarm would let them know that the "Popo" or Government was in your area..., giving them a chance to at least finish using the toilet... lol :o
Reboot
Years later, I remembered my High School analog device and decided to "try" it again, but this time with "modern digital" technology. The result (below) was a Pocket Windows computer using FOSS Software-defined radio (SDR), custom algorithm, soft/hardware modifications, a broad Spectrum antenna, a Blue-tooth antenna, a WiFi detector, blah, blah, blah, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more... Lol
Curious...
My modern digital PoPo Scanner iteration/version, did NOT rely on any high tech "hacking" or complex signal deciphering, as it was solely based on a passive
'detection algorithm'
which was derived from old B2 Bomber stealth-tech.

I have never professionally worked for
the NSA, FBI, QHCG, Blah, Blah, Blah...
I always did everything "in the open" with ethical authority.
I intentionally allowed (and currently) the NSA (and others) to prob my servers, cell phones, laptops, and data files;
all in an effort to prove that I am/was NOT a Terrorist, Hacker, Foreign Agent, Hacktivist, Warmonger or Enemy Combatant.
I am just Me. :)

FACT:
Google, Amazon, Instagram, and Facebook,
all know more about you and your "intimate privacy", than the: NSA, CIA, Homeland, FBI, GCHQ, MSS, FSB, etc..., combined!!!!! :(
Fact:
Your "Right to Privacy" under the The Bill of Rights, which refers to the concept that one's personal information is protected from public scrutiny, is constantly violated by Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.; they all abuse your trust, by collecting "private information" in the race to exploit your personal information/habits for money and profits.
This is a sad Fact! :(
Thank you for your interest!
I will get back to you, within the Near Distant Future; as it all depends on your personal perspective of space time, minus the mean lifetime of an 238U isotope, multiplied by the equal distance of M87's accretion disk, divided by the null flux rate of a decaying prompt neutron lifetime and multiplied by the weight of Uranus.
