That's not true. You are not allowed to listen to any conversations
to which you are not a party, regardless of your radios' capabilities.

The only exception is for Public Service communications in the clear
(and broadcasters on their main channel.) It is even illegal to
listen to an STL on an RPU.



Really? What if you are having a CB conversation and the telephone
conversation interferes with your conversation? How about then? Do you
have to discontinue using the CB channel? What if you are a licensed
amateur and the telephone conversation is smack in the middle of a band you
are licensed to operate on?
