My apologies in advance for what I know is a very silly question but I am dealing with a very silly situation and could use some help.
Long story short, company uses Motorola handhelds on 451.3775 to communicate. they're licensed through the FCC and are allowed to operate up to 10 radios on site.
Their stance is, no one else may listen to or receive their frequency. Trying to explain public airwaves and reception vs actively transmitting is like talking to a refrigerator.
I've looked through the FCC site but can't find quite what I'm looking for but maybe you can point me in a good direction - I'm trying to find something from the FCC, ideally on their site or a printable PDF, explaining the legality of receiving/passively listening to any frequency. I know I've seen something like this in the past but I can't seem to find it now.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can assist me here.
