Many years ago I tapped off the 455kc IF on my scanner and fed it to my 
oscilloscope.
I would calibrate with a commercial repeater.
The Police frequencies were right on.
I could even see the PL tones and set them.
It would show thew whole 7 KC bandpass of the scanner on the scope.
It was easy to guesstimate things.
