So do I. Within thirty feet of where I'm sitting there are at least
four radios capable of tuning both RPU and cellular bands. No one has
ever notified me that posession of these instruments was in violation
of some law. I have seen no provisions requiring them to be disabled,
destroyed, or turned in somewhere.

I would also like to see chapter and verse of any law preventing me
from selling any or all of these radios should I desire to do so.
