SCANNING LEGALLY
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups including police
and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private com-
panies, amateur radio services, military operations, pager services, and wireline
(telephone and telegraph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every
transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some transmissions
you should never intentionally listen to. These include:
• Telephone conversations (either cellular, cordless, or other private means of
telephone signal transmission)
• Pager transmissions
• Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are sub-
ject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or di-
vulging the contents of such a transmission unless you have the consent of a
party to the conversation (unless such activity is otherwise illegal). We encour-
age responsible, legal scanner use.
Note:
Mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit in some areas.
Check the laws in your area.
