| Please note that contrary to what the Cellular Telecommunications Industry would have you believe, scanner enthusiasts are not criminals! The industry would like you to believe this in order to help gloss over the fact that cellular radio telephones can be monitored with off-the-shelf radio receivers. The analog cellular radio telephone system has no security precautions whatsoever. | |

| Trunked Radio Information | |
