Hi,

I've never heard of license for SW receivers. When I was young my parents
and most of my relatives had SW receivers - they were very popular then. In
the mid 60's I use to listen to my parents Zenith Trans Oceanic. You needed
a license for a CB way back then - perhaps that's what you were thinking of.

Hey,

All my SW receivers were bought here. I think you got taken. If it were
illegal, Radio Shack Canada wouldn't be allowed to sell them. See for
yourself:

When I go to the U.S., I register anything I take over there that may
give
me problems coming back, just to prove they came from Canada



The only possible reason for this actually happening that I can think of
would have been a very long time ago, when Canada required a radio
license..
but I'm not sure that applied to SW radios, or if it applied to tourists.
