New to the forum from the U.S. Can I legally transport a mobile installed two-way radio and a scanner into Canada from the states? Thanks in advance!

As long as the radio isnt english, they have laws against that in the belle province of my youth
(joke)

I dotn see why not. There might be a handset law, i.e. I have a salesman in Quebec who says he needs to use a blue tooth to make calls while driving,

Hi,

Thanks, I'm receiving the impression that it's ok to transport a cellphone over the border, but it can't be used while driving. Correct?

Correct !!

The province of Quebec and almost all Canadian provinces have outlawed use of handheld cell phones and/or text messaging while driving — Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Newfoundland/Labrador.

Here's a link to learn about it Text messaging, cell phone laws in Canada & provinces | Hands Free Info

In Quebec, it is prohibited to use a device with telephone functionnalities without a handfree set (Bluetooth or wired). That includes all cell phone, IPhone, Blackberries and so on that you can phone or text with it.

Be careful with two way radios that have a numeric keyboard on the microphone such has some Ham radios and others, there are some hole in the law that are not being apply equally ... Although it's not the legislator vision, some PD might issue ticket for such a use.
