ferent electrical circuit from the receiver

SCANNING LEGALLY
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many differ-
ent groups including police and fire departments, am-
bulance services, government agencies, private
companies, amateur radio services, military opera-
tions, pager services, and wireline (telephone and tele-
graph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost
every transmission your scanner can receive. Howev-
er, there are some transmissions you should never in-
tentionally listen to. These include:
• telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or
other private means of telephone signal transmis-
sion)
• pager transmissions
• any scrambled or encrypted transmissions
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy
Act (ECPA), as amended, you are subject to fines and
possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, us-
ing, or divulging the contents of such a transmission
unless you have the consent of a party to the communi-
cation (unless such activity is otherwise illegal).
