If you read my posts, I said I *wrote* to all of the members of the committee. Which I did. Please don't try to misconstrue what I said and what I mean! Going crazy isn't going to help. Doing things quickly but in an orderly and intelligent manner often gets the best results. How do I know this? Because I've done it this way for years. And the results, more often than not, have been good.
A scanner is a receiver, not a rebroacaster. It receives at the same time that any other receiver picks up a signal from a dispatch - be it a radio in the hands of an officer or a radio sitting on your desk or mine.

GEE SORRY!! I made no attempt to "misconstrue" anything you wrote or said. I simply asked a proper question based on what YOU wrote. But no I didnt go back to read as to wether you wrote or called. Very minor point, as least to me. Who exactly is going "CRAZY"? By the tone of your post, I dont think it is me. And you are WRONG if that is your reading. If something is broadcast to a circle of receivers whom are authorized to receive that broadcast and you then capture that broadcast outside of that circle of receivers whom are authorized to receive that broadcast you are rebroadcasting. By capturing that unauthorized broadcast and placing it through an instrument that then re-broadcasts it, because realize yu are NOT hearing it first hand, but REBROADCASTING IT!!! It is not intended for you so in order to hear it you are collecting it be it called unauthorized or illegal and rebroadcasting. You do not belong to that broadcasts circle of trust. You are the outsider that must rebroadcast to hear it. It is a simple play on words. If a third person is not rebroadcast thn when is it? Third, fourth, fifth? Why would they not have a problem with you capturing it locally on a scanner but not sending it out over the net? Doesnt make any sense. No this is for you and me, first person, as it is written. Maybe it isnt their intent but as I read it it is the law of unintended consequences?
The key (legalese) word in all of this is unauthorized.
