In Germany, the ICOM R1, which is a receiver with a range of 100kHz to 1300MHZ (in most places), is sold with a VERY restricted range, 13.95 to 14.5MHz, 28-29MHz, 144-146MHz, 430-440MHz, and 1240-1300MHz. These are basically some ham bands. It's pretty clear that the Germans don't want their citizens listening to anything but hams and broadcasts.
