Hi

My friend has an unblocked scanner and can only hear one side of the
conversation (cell). Yes, he is listening to the base, not the mobile
frequencies. He says he thinks he is hearing the land line side of the
conversation only because he will hear a tech support guy or a business
talking at times.

What can I tell him?

It's illegal.

Also he may be in for an into court walk if he squalks about the talk.
