authorized to use that frequency.
Transmitting on frequencies you're not authorized to operate on is illegal, and in most
jurisdictions a serious offence. If you get caught transmitting without a license you can
and will get fined, and in worst case sent to jail.
However, it is legal in most jurisdictions to listen. Contact your local regulatory body for
further information on what laws, rules and regulations apply to your area.
