If you want to learn more about radio, check out the American radio relay league about becoming an amateur radio operator.

For the teams that cannot use their cell phones in the US, look into the cheap (approx $20 US) prepaid cell phones, they would likely do what you want and are not disallowed.
Alright. If they are using such frequencies, then this isn't worth it.


IDK why you would withold, I'm not talking about a walkie talkie, Im talking about a scanner than has no way of putting sound onto the channel, but I guess it doesn't matter at this point. Thanks Guys for all the good info.
