Note that there are legalities to consider in the US.

strange. I've seen SCA decoders at legal ham radio stores just last year
(2004),

and the hams say that hams never do anything illegal. That hams always
obey the law.

Thereforem how can it be illegal if hams never do anything illegal and
sell them to customers at legitimate stores?

Listening to SCA has nothing to do with ham radio.

And also, selling the equipment is not a legal thing. If is what a person
does with it that involves legalities. You can buy SCA decoders, but you
can legally only listen to what you have permission to do nmaking some
purchases for legal purposes. Yes, there is a reallity gap--some laws are
simply stupid.

Similarly you used to be able to buy scanners that could receive cell
phones. It was illegal though to do that.
