I currently listen from my home location (in Holland where it is allowed) right under route TB-6 where lot of enroute AMC traffic passes.
But it is always good to warn people about the risks, since most of them are not aware of it.
My advise: Leave your scanner at home while visiting Germany!

A normal scanner like the ones that are sold in ie. Holland are illegal in Germany. Scanners sold in Germany must have the "CE" mark, "BZT" mark or the "BMPT" mark.Martinez76 wrote:

You're only not allowed to have "goverment" freqencies programmed.
As long as you keep your scanner memory empty when you fear being checked by any law enforcement you should be fine.
They have to proof that you were scanning the military airband and that's impossible when you are able to erase the memory in a few secs...
