400mhz Public Safety
"labtech1" wrote in message ... FBI investigates illegal reception of radio transmissions, this includes cell phones etc However the FCC DOES 'regulate' receivers...... look on ANY radio and see the "FCC type approved' sticker on it. ANY radio must be 'approved' by the FCC before it can be sold in the USA To insure that the oscillator in the radio doesn't transmit those oscillations beyond a certain distance from the receiver. The FCC will never tell anyone what they can or can't listen to. The airwaves are "FREE" and anyone can listen to anything that they want. The problem only comes when you repeat what you hear on police frequencies. Plus unscramblers are not receivers, only an audio accessory to a receiver. The Feds only investigate people SELLING modified receivers for cell phones, not the buyers. H.J. |
