That's not entirely true. Take Icom, and Yaesu, for example. When they block out the cellular portion fo the spectrum, they block out additional bandwidth below, and above the frequencies that the FCC requires them to omit. So you may not be able to monitor perfectly legal trunked systems, because they fall into this blocked-overlap, so to speak. In addition to that , many radios have to block portions of the spectrum that are in an entirely different band, due to the possibility of receiving cellular images. So you end up with a very crippled radio! Bill Crocker |
