who would by a scanner in France?

B It's true that french version receivers are the most restrictive ones B (the Icom R5 here is nothing else than a broadcast radio!), we are B such a bizarre country, but law is law!! Who would by a scanner in France then, instead of buying it in a neighboring country before returning home? Well, I suppose there must be some market, as Icom bothers to make a French R5. Hmmm, so far, that makes 1. US cellular blocked, 2. France most everything blocked, as the only special editions manufacturers make in addition to their unblocked worldwide version, as far as I know. I suppose manufacturers could make many different versions to comply with each little country's laws, but don't bother, as people will just smuggle in the worldwide version anyway. |
