That means when people use a cordless phone or a cellular phone, their conversations. can be picked up by scanners and other short-wave receivers over a wide area.
Furthermore, the person at the other end of the line can also be heard, no matter what kind of phone he or she is using. I learned this firsthand while testing a scanner I was repairing for a friend. I also learned that the range of a cordless phone i is at least a half mile. The range depends largely on how many ob- Kramer Funeral Chapel in Scottsbluff with the Rev. Paul McAnear officiating.

The lesson for your readers is as follows: Do not say anything when using a cordless phone that you don't want overheard. And, of course, never give your credit card number assuming that your conversation is strictly private. It may not be.
-A Fellow Iowan Dear Fellow Iowan: Thanks for the tip. According to Mary Beth Johnson at Ameritech Cellular Services, you are partly correct.
