Pat indicates that it's "highly illegal" to modify a radio to receive
cellular.

No way, Pat. It's just illegal to USE it to listen to cellular, or to
build and sell something that is specifically intended to receive
cellular. There are numerous radios that you can buy today that will
easily receive cellular communications.

I agree with the previous poster, though, that it's usually not very
interesting and I personally don't believe in "evesdropping".

I've ALWAYS been careful on cordless phones and cellular to avoid
business related or overly personal conversations ;)
