I just bought a police scanner. I have a pro-164... I thought that this wasnt hard, I dont have a CLUE as to how I even get started... I cannot pick up ANYTHING on my scanner, its like Im doing something wrong... Right now, im pressing tune... then typing in my frequency number from http://m.radioreference.com/?scid=23996 it is 155.20500 and it just gives static like EVERY other frequency I put in... all I can listen to is the pre-programmed weather station. How do these things work, and what am I doing wrong. I live in Lake Charles, and I thought you could listen to the fire,police, emergency radios... so far NOOTHING
I have, I have tried every frequency close to it... I just hear static. the only voice I hear is from the pre programmed weather station
 
Are you on the right frequency try switching through the frequencies and see if you pick up anything.
