BB> No need for it to, as there is exception for FCC licensed Amatuer Radio
 BB> Operators in the law....
 BF>  No there isn't.
(Sigh)
Yes, there is.  In the law in question, there most certainly is a exception.
I am not refering to FEDERAL law, rather a local law.  In it's wording, 
it allows LICENSED AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS to have SCANNERS.
 BF>  What there is, instead, is a provision for *amateur radio equipment*
 BF> that  can scan the public safety freqs.
 BF>  Scanners are not amateur radio equipment. Both the FCC and the ARRL
 BF> have  been quite specific on this point.
You  are talking about the FEDERAL exemption, which has not been the point
of the thread at any time.  We are discussing STATE OF TN law, and local
ordinances.
