Scanners Mobile


I am not sure about your specific states...but most states now forbid scanners in cars/trucks by private or commercial carriers. The only exceptions normally are Amatuer Radio operators and valid first respondors...ie AUX: police/fire/rescue etc... I must have a valid copy of my license in my possesion to have a scanner in IL/IN/OH...

and yes it is considered illegal to listen to cell phone conversations on a scanner in the US...scanners sold in the US are to be blocked on cell frequencies...by law...:whistle:

All the Best
