Wideband Receivers DON'T COUNT. They are NOT "regular" scanners; matter
of fact, they are not scanners at all... There's a difference, but
apparently you're just too stupid to notice.

tell the police and judge that when they arrest you for listening to a
scanner in a motor vehicle in a state that doesn't allow scanners in
motor vehicles.

the official legal definition of a scanner is a device that scans 4 or
more channels between 30 MHZ and ( I think 1200 MHZ).

The definition also describes the speed at which it has to scan to be
counted or not counted as a scanner. I couldn't remember the actual rate
speed.

The legal definition of what is and isn't a scanner is the same for the
whole country.

What you count as not a scanner, a policeman or judge who checks the
actual laws will most likely find that what you count as not a scanner
is indeed a scanner.
