Is it possible to scan Nextel/Boost Mobile possible? Does a Yupiteru MVT-700 able to do it?

No. It is CDMA and iDEN formats and can not be decoded by scanners

Thanks for your reply.

Would a frequency counter be able to pick up signal/frequencys from nextel/boost?

Don't those still count as cell phone transmission and thus illegal? (honest question)

 

[Sinister]

It is Illegal to monitor cellular phone transmissions period. Thread closed

I'm going to leave this closed since the topic has been asked way too many times. IDEN is not considered "cellular" so the monitoring laws don't apply to it. Outside of reverse engineering the protocol no US laws will stop someone from monitoring.
