RADIO SCANNING

...In Canada, we have a Communications Act that is a bit more liberal than that in the United States.
But it probably will not last too much longer, as there are already restrictions placed on the new digital scanners. The underlining rule to remember is, "What you hear, don't repeat to everyone in the world".
