- I'm pretty sure the ECPA includes all mobile (ie: not home cordless)
- telephones, including the 450MHz stuff, other 800MHz trunked (ie: non
- cellular) and the old 152MHz stuff. I'm also fairly sure that it
- prohibits listening to pagers. I don't have the text of the law, but
- it is pretty intrustive. I'm not quite sure why they don't want you
- to listen to studio-transmitter links, as they are the same thing as
- what goes over the air, but yes folks, it is in the law.
