 RW> No, way it is not by any means illegal to listen to cordless phone

 Thats still debated hotly here in the states. Some think if it's not a
 state law it's not illegal, others say it falls under federal law.
 Me, I don't know. Lets put it this way, all I have to do on my pro 2042
 is push Auto 5, hold down Enter and push clear and I'm in compliance with 
the 
 law!

 In some state's its not illegal to have a scanner, but is to use it in the 
 commission of a crime, say while robbing a bank you monitor freq's used by
 the police to see if an alarm has been dropped. That is a crime in my 
 opinion!
 Funny though, Austrailia has certainly tightend up it gun laws in a knee 
jerk 
 way, but not it's communication laws. Unlucky in one way, lucky in another!

 Scan long and Prosper!!!
