Our wonderful guardians of freedom, the US Congress, made it illegal for
stores to sell radios that receive cellphone calls to the general public.
However, I do not know what, if any, laws pertain to radio sales between
private individuals (cellphone-capable receivers were sold prior to the law,
although I bet most would be hesitant to part with their radio).

Since many (most?) cellphones use digital signals nowadays, they would just
sound like noise on any cell-capable radio anyway. And if a cellphone is being
used in a car, the conversation typically keeps switching frequencies as the
car moves from one cell area to another, which makes tracking the conversation
problematical.



Yeah - when I am absolutely, totally bored for anything else to do,
I will scan the 26960-27410kHz range (CB radio). I live only 400 yds.
from an interstate highway. The trucker conversations fade in, are "10
dog bones" for 3-5 minutes, and fade away again.
