    Needs and Uses: On March 31, 1999, the FCC released a Report and 
Order, Amendment of Parts 2 and 15 of the Commission Rules to Further 
Ensure That Scanning Receivers Do No Receive Cellular Radio Signals, ET 
Docket No. 980-76, FCC 99-58. The FCC rules under 47 CFR 2.1033(b)(10) 
require manufacturers of scanning receivers to design their equipment 
so that: It has 38 dB of image rejection for Cellular Service 
frequencies, tuning, control and filtering circuitry are inaccessible, 
and any attempt to modify the scanning receiver to receive Cellular 
Service transmissions will likely render the scanning receiver 
inoperable. The Commission also requires manufacturers to submit 
information with any application for certification that describes: The 
testing method used to determine compliance with the 38 dB image 
rejection ratio, the design features that prevent modification of the 
scanning receiver to receive Cellular Service transmissions, and the 
design steps taken to make tuning, control, and filtering circuitry 
inaccessible. Furthermore, the FCC requires equipment to carry a 
statement assessing the vulnerability of the scanning receiver to 
modification and to have a label affixed to the scanning receiver, 
similar to the following (47 CFR 15.121):
    Warning: Modification of this device to receive cellular 
radiotelephone service signals is prohibited under FCC Rules and 
Federal Law.
