One also doesn't want to interfere with those radio systems with an unauthorized transceiver trespassing on a government network, which is what happens when one incorrectly programs said radio using cloned IDs, bad information on the Internet, etc. These devices are designed to be programmed by those properly trained and experienced to do so, and incorrect methods can cause the radio to do things that can not only interfere with the system, but jeopardize the safety of legitimate, authorized users.
The legal ramifications can also lead to life changing consequences. Yes, it's that serious. Like a broken record begging to be changed, it's been mentioned that one should purchase a scanner, or Unication G series pager, if their only requirements is to monitor. These devices do not contain transmitters and therefore, will NEVER cause ANY interference to ANY system. Furthermore, no one has ever been arrested or charged with a crime for programming a scanner or receiver. The same cannot be said for those who program unauthorized trunking subscriber radios.
If one needs an actual subscriber for authorized use, than one should be in contact with those who manage the system(s) in use, and go through those channels to obtain/purchase one as well as getting said radio properly programmed and provisioned onto the respective system(s).
