NB> My wife and I are going to Tennessee in a few weeks, and I'd like to 
 NB> know what the scanner laws in Tennesse are. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
    I'm not sure that Tennessee as a state has a prohibition on mobile 
scanning, but I bet most of the larger cities do.
    Here in Chattanooga, to legally run a scanner in a vehicle you must have 
a permit that lists the VIN and Motor# of the vehicle you intend to use the 
scanner in (I don't think they've ever issued one), the exceptions are Law 
Enforcement and vehicles used in government service.
    In Tennessee Amateur Radio Operators are issued Emergency license plates
with their Call as the tag number (oh, you do have to request this kind of 
plate, but it is the same cost as a generic tag).  I say that if the state 
issues an emergency tag to my vehicle, then my vehicle falls under the 
"government service" clause.   :)
    Clear as mud now, right?   B)

Concerning _1100 MHz_, Jonathan Guy said to Troy H. Cheek in Fidonet 
SCANRADIO:

 JG> not saying that you don't know what a cell-call would sound like,
It just so happens I do.  Some of the signals I'm picking up do sound like 
that.  Others sound like phone patches.  Others still sound like plain old 
two-way radio conversations.
When I drive west towards Cleveland, the signals start fading out.
