Title: Want to make voice catching device
Post by: peter200285 on 20/03/2012 09:38:20

I want to make device through which i can catch the voice signals of mobile phones near by me, may be by doing some change in walkie talkie or in cell phone. Any idea?

This is a wireless equivalent of wiretapping which is criminal offence in many countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws).

If you know "all laws" you can become a highly paid lawyer, then you could afford buy such a device. [ However you could then lose your licence to practice law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disbarment) by using such a device, if it is a criminal offence to do so in your country ].

Agree with RD - we cannot/will not give out practical advice to build a device for which it is difficult to envisage a legitimate use.  Unless this thread takes a very theoretical turn, ie  away from actual building then we will reluctantly have to lock it.
