What is this about listening to the 800 MHz being a felony. I am a Amateur
radio operator I can broadcast in that range. Well part of it anyway. Fill
me in on what I have missed there.

 Hi Dan,

   What on earth is a supposed democracy like the UK doing censoring free
  speech like this?

 Political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

  Are they the only ones?

 No.

 Regards, Ben

 PS: Also, the UK has never had free speech in the American sense. But
listening
 to the 800MHz band in the US has apparently become a felony thanks to the
 Patriot act.

Prior to the ECPA (circa 1987 if my memory is correct) there were no
prohibitions on listening to any radio communications whatsoever in the
US, the only restriction (1933 Communications Act) was that you could not
divulge what you heard. The ECPA was bought, err, promoted by the
telecommunications industry, as a way to make folk's cell phone calls
private, prohibiting listening to them (as well as pagers, and perhaps
some other comms) and forcing the FCC to not type accept any reciever that
tunes those bands in. (All radios sold in the US must be FCC type
accepted, the original purpose was to prevent sale of radios that leaked
excessive RF and could cause interference)

I've not seen any specific text from the Patriot Act as what further radio
reception bans it adds. Although I imagine most members of congress
couldn't tell you what specific items are in the act as well.

Ute listening has always been a gray area in the UK and most of the rest
of the world, officially illegal, but tolerated as long as you don't spill
the beans on any state secrets (like Prince Charles' shoe size I guess).
Less tolerated in much of the rest of the world.

As the ute monitoring community never had a strong lobbying group (and the
ARRL wouldn't spend any political capital defending us anyway) there was
no one to prevent passage of these types of laws. I'd also venture to say
that we did it to ourselves. There were too many TV news stories showing
radio enthusiasts listening to cell phone calls on their scanner, and the
lawmakers [over]reacted.

I do not wish to start a debate or flame war over the merits of such
legislation. If anyone has any facts regarding what restrictions are
actually in place (ECPA or Patriot Act in the US, or other laws in their
respective countries) I do think that would be an on topic post, as to how
they relate to the legality of monitoring spy numbers and similar
transmissions.

As far as E2K and E3 are concerned, I think they are trying to avoid any
overt actions on their part that could bring down the wrath of their
government. I don't believe E2K has a legal defense fund.

Hi Dan  All,
There are a large number of Laws in the UK that regulate what we can  cannot listen 
to, taken together they are a minefield of risks for the UTE/Numbers monitors. 
The list is considerable but amongst them we are very aware of the implications of :-
Wireless Telegraphy Act
Official Secrets Act
D Notices
recent Anti Terrorist Legislation.

If it so wished our Government could close us down with the stroke of a pen.
Being a cynic my take on democracy/freedom in UK is that it's more a state of mind 
rather than a fact of life

Looking at things from this side of the pond your Patriot Act/Anti Terrorist Acts and 
various regulations your Government is introducing/considering you are also well on 
the way to having your own Official Secrets Act foisted upon you by the back door, 
I'm amazed at some of the things that have been raised in your HR over recent months.

Chris S is right that ENIGMA 2000 does not have a legal defense fund, we, as are most 
hobby lists, are run by a few dedicated volunteers out of their own pockets so it is 
sensible for us to be prudent.

Cheers

Hello Chris and List,
This is an interesting topic; the law as it relates to listening in Great
Britain is very defined, even to the point of those who can legally listen.
For a short and intuitive read:
http://www.radio.gov.uk/publication/ra_info/ra169.htm
This document was issued originally as Scanners became popular in GB and
listing to the emergency services was a great interest. Read with a
singular mind one could easily imagine that the document only referred to
the frequencies covered by Scanners. However, it obviously refers to the
entire spectrum and some necessity of good sense must be exercised when
listening. The document states, in simple and plain language exactly what
can be legally listened to [And it isn't much, either].

Having read the RA169 doc you will understand why ENIGMA 2000 is careful
not to overstep the line, a cautious approach must, out of sensibility, be
observed as the statement made in our newsletter proclaims:

Apart from the regulations concerning the reception of wireless stations
within Great Britain advice on reporting intelligence matters also exists
in the form of DA notices. Whoever the messages, from E03/E03a, are aimed
at ENIGMA 2000 has no wish to 'advertise' the existence of these stations
to those who may not support the best interests of Great Britain, or its
representatives abroad.

The RA169 document is not about being a killjoy. It offers advice to those
with an interest in listening, interception, earwigging or call it what you
will. If the representatives of HM Govt do knock there will be no defence.

So yes, we are avoiding the wrath of our Government. We certainly have no
wish to fall foul of the various statutes surrounding the interception of
others communications and we act accordingly and in sensible fashion.

ENIGMA 2000 has no funds or finacial status. Out of pocket expenses are
just that - out of mine, or MikeL's pockets.

If I'm not mistaken, it is okay to sell or own 800 MHz scanners in USA,
but the FCC won't approve newly manufactured 800 MHz scanners anymore.
Listening to cell or cordless phones or any private conversations for
that matter is illegal in USA.

In Canada it is okay to listen to 800 MHz cell phones conversations,
as long as you do not repeat what you hear. The fun part is that most
new scanners are imported from USA, so you'll find 800 MHz blocked
scanners even if it is legal in Canada.

In fact the CRTC (the folks regulating freqs in Canada) think that
anything floating in the air is public domain. So they think it is
the responsibility of the transmitters to protect their private
conversations. Decoding digital Tx is okay in Canada, but I think
breaking a propriatary crypto, including numbers stations, would
fall in the big no-no category.
