Someone may correct me on this, but except for a period during WW I, I don't think there has ever been a law prohibiting the use of a receiver at any frequency. Even if there were, it would be difficult to enfource. Tom Watson, WZ8Q On Aug 29, 2017 7:13 AM, "Gayle Dotts via BVARC"

Re: [BVARC] Police/Fire call listening on UHF/VHF

Completely legal, but most services have moved to trunking systems on 800-900 MHz. You'll need a trunk tracking radio to keep up, but you can get "bits and pieces" just by scanning those freqs with an old fashioned scanner (if you have those bands covered). It's also legal for police to
