What type of security threat uses modified radio scanners to capture communication and listen to your phone conversations?
There used to be available both portable and desktop programmable scanners available that covered cell phone frequencies. (I have one). They are no longer available from normal dealers like Radio Shack, etc. A few bucks in parts and a connecting cable would allow you to record any call intercepted. Could get you cost you too, $ or jail time! They didn't recall those previously sold but the Feds get uptight about miss use of those in public use. I use mine to monitor public service channels. Police, Search and Rescue, even the Airport and Air to Air/Ground frequencies. from an old sergeant
