I posted my source in an earlier post in this thread. It's not just
private individuals, but anyone can sell a pre-1994 scanner. My
BC100XLT was purchased in 1989, and the BC200XLT came out about the
same time as the 100. The fact that the unmodified BC200XLT is
capable of receiving cel frequencies should lead you to the conclusion
that they were built prior to 1994. Unless you think Uniden was
breaking the law back then -- kind of a stretch.

The FCC document I quoted is from the file fcc99058.wp. You have to
change the wp to wpd to open it in Word. I don't have time right now
to find it again on the FCC site. However, here is the important
part:

"Section 15.37 Transition provisions for compliance with the rules.

*****

(f) The manufacture or importation of scanning receivers, and
frequency converters designed or marketed for use with scanning
receivers, that do not comply with the provisions of § 15.121(a)(1)
shall cease on or before April 26, 1994. Effective April 26, 1993,
the Commission will not grant equipment authorization for receivers
that do not comply with the provisions of § 15.121(a)(1). This
paragraph does not prohibit the sale or use of authorized receivers
manufactured in the United States, or imported into the United States,
prior to April 26, 1994."

Pay particular attention to the last sentence.

I never had a problem with the '94 law. I would like to see your source
on "it is OK for a private
individual to sell a used, pre-1994 scanner" I would like to see it
written that a private individual, while in a public forum, can sell
something that another company can't. I'm also not sure the scanner he
had was pre-1994
