Radio Shack had one, but they fell afoul of the ECPA (Electronics
Communication Privacy Act). And/Or Radio Shack's cell phone
marketing.

AMPS (the old analog cell phone system) was a great way to determine
business ethics. Ask the salesman if the phone system was private
and watch him lie his ass off. Analog cell phones used former TV
channels and the same modulation as TV, so any old TV set could pick
some or all of them on channels 70-83. And a UHF band TV sound receiver
would, too.

You can also listen to analog 800 phones 21.4 mHz below the actual
phone call on many scanners.

There was also the trick of feeding a 45 MHz signal into a TV set to
add a pseudo-carrier into the IF amp, so that you could use the fine
tuning (and the inter-carrier sound system) to pick up most everything.

I did that a couple of times and found that your typical cell-phone call
makes the Voice of (North) Korea sound interesting in comparison.
Voyerism is boring.
