Answer: RadioShack products sold in the US are not intended for use and may not function properly outside of the US due to power and other issues.

Additionally, your radio scanner may be illegal to use in your destination. We cannot recommend using a US scanner outside of the United States and strongly suggest that you contact a reliable source of information (travel agency, government body) to determine the legality of this use. We do not have a source for frequency lists outside the United States.
