Question: I am going out of the country; will my scanner work and do you have frequency lists for (country)?
Answer: RadioShack products sold in the US are not intended for use and may not function properly outside of the US due to power and other
issues.
Additionally, your radio scanner may be illegal to use in your destination. We cannot recommend using a US scanner outside of the United
States and strongly suggest that you contact a reliable source of information (travel agency, government body) to determine the legality of this
use. We do not have a source for frequency lists outside the United States.

Question: Do you sell a scanner to pick up cellular or cordless telephone frequencies?
Answer: No! It is illegal to use a scanner for this purpose, and RadioShack scanners are designed to be unable to do this. The legal issues are
covered under the Electronics Communications Privacy Act of 1996 as amended under Section 2511. This information can be found at the local
public library under US Code 2511.
