Sometimes those additional (legally

they seek unblocked receivers to enable that. So it's not always for
reasons of illegal cell phone monitoring that unblocked models are sought

For example, when I am a ham radio operator and want to have a
wideband scanner like the MVT9000 to monitor my own transmitted signal
if there are unwanted spurs in it, then a cellular blocked scanner
really would be annoying. Why buy a wideband scanner, when some parts
of the band are blocked?!

Is it illegal even for ham operators in the US to own a non-blocked
scanner?
