Mmmm. I'm told that, on most cellphone calls, a scanner will present both sides of the conversation on the same frequency. Usually one side will be louder. Perhaps there's some feedback from a party's receiver back into his transmitter? bd On Tue, 14 Jan 1997, Michael Tighe SUN IMP wrote:

Exactly. So how come mom&pop with a scanner were able to record BOTH sides of the conversation without interruption? This seems pretty suspicious to me. I think Old Newt was targeted by someone inside the phone company, who was eavesdropping on all of his cell calls.
