quires that scanners be manufactured in such a way as to not be easily modifiable to pick up those transmis- sions. Do not open your scanner's case to make any modifications that could allow it to pick up transmis- sions that it is not legal to listen to. Doing so could sub- ject you to legal penalties.

We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
