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. 73 Chris __ Spooks mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks Help: http://mailman.qth.net/faq.htm Post: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Visit http://www.spynumbers.com/ for complete information about Spy Numbers Stations

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.

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.

Re: [Spooks] censorship
Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list 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. 73 Paul For ENIGMA 2000 [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/enigma2000] 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 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.

Re: [Spooks] censorship
Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list 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.
