Concerning _pro-2042_, Roland Stiner said to Troy H. Cheek in SCANRADIO:
THC>> Supposedly, you can order the same scanner from Radio Shacks outside
THC>> the US that are not cellular disabled.
RS>
RS> Do you know where? Not in Canada, I checked and they're blocked.
RS> Funny since Canada does not have a law banning cellular listening.
But Canada does have people willing to ship scanners to the US where there
are such laws.
Actually, Canada is exactly the place I've heard you can get the latest
"unblocked" scanners, and that businesses from up there advertise this fact
in US scanner mags. Not having read said magazines, I can neither confirm
nor deny that such advertising exists, and not having ordered said scanners,
I can neither confirm nor deny that they work as advertised.
I wouldn't put it past some unscrupulous businessman to advertise hints that
a 'foreign' scanner is "unblocked" when it's actually the exact same thing as
a 'native' scanner. It's not like the buyer could sue on the grounds that
the company sold him a legal scanner. :-)
