TREG'ers, I looked into this a year or more ago and found out that there is no FCC requirement for any notification that a conversation is being recorded with the exception of recording by a carrier. However, I was also told the if the recording is to be used in court either the parties must be made aware of the recording or it must be as the result of a court order.
