While you are totally correct in it being legal for the present owner,
didn't the same law make it illegal to resell it?

If a scanner was built and sold BEFORE the "Law" for cell phones came
into being it is a LEGAL unit and NOT required to comply with that law!!

The Realistic Pro 2006 Scanner did not come from the factory with cell
phone frequency coverage...it's specifications lists a reception gap
of 868.945 MHz-898 MHz...it required a modification to restore this
frequency gap (open up, clip 1 diode) very simple mod...but making it
technically illegal to own, operate, or sell. As the previous
Gentleman pointed out the seller can get the point across by adding
"YES. IT DOES"...if the seller lists "continuous coverage"...does eBay
pull the auction?..."YES.THEY DO!"
