AOR model AR 2515 scanner. 5 - 1500 mhz, continuous, no dropped freqs. Mine gave me endless hours of (ahem) entertainment. Operator's manual says if you "accidentally" pick up cell calls, you're supposed to "take an AK47 and shoot the receiver" since such is illegal. Weatherman seemed a bit *too* lucky to hit a call like that on first try. I suspect he had an accomplice upstairs faking a call on a cordless phone.

Yes I used to scan back in 1993-1995 before it all went GSM digital. Still there are a lot of old analogue phones, baby alarms and transmissions - but most seem to be digital nowadays.

that's so hilarious how just matter of factly says 'everything from cb radio to cell phones, it's totally illegal"... i could picture that jolly mellowed out face holding up a severed babies head and just kinda calmly stating in his droning, second grade science teacher voice: "i've been killing babies lately, it's totally illegal"

Yeah d3p3ch3mod3, scanning the radio waves illegally is just like killing babies.
I used a Radio Shack scanner in the 80s & 90s which I modified to monitor cell calls by removing a diode that blocked those frequencies. It was a lot of fun, and I had local cell site freq sets set up as separate scanning banks. I had no problem ethically because those cell phones were basically radio tranceivers, and I considered any radio signals to be fair game.
