The LACSO used to use 1810 or something for ''calling all cars''
communications. We could hear them clearly in Phoenix at night on
just about any AM radio with a drifting-high local oscillator.

s it illegal to have a reciever capable of tuning *any* shortwave freq -
or just law enforcement freqs?


well, the frequencies listed in the California law are used for
international shortwave broadcasting.

It was only certain frequency ranges. (I forget which. I'll look it up
again
and post it here).

However, most shortwave recievers that I know of cover the entire
shortwave band anyways.

It would probably be hard to find one that doesn't have at least one
range that is blocked by California law.

As I understand it, the law was meant to protect police frequencies as
you say.
But is outdated. However, is still on the books and stil the law in
California.

Whether they actually enforce it or not is another matter.

But since it's still in effect, you COULD be arrested for simply having
a shortwave reciiever in your car that covers those particular frequency
ranges.

I'll soon post the banned frequency range in this thread.

Once again, this applies only to California.


That reeks of a sadly misinformed person making a classic "Emily Latella"
styled argument ("... What's all this I hear about endangered
*feces*?!"...") during a concil meeting that managed to generate a few
hearty "Harrumphs" from council members. The results of which can now be
read within the ordinances. If it wasn't so funny, it would be sorta
depressing.
