Why would you want to take your scanner to Turkey?

Perhaps he is a masochist who likes Turkish prison food!

I'm not sure about the laws though, didn't a group of plane spotters get
arrested over that part of the world a while back.

Think that was Greece?

Why are you asking?

I just wondered out of curiosity, I mean, you would more or less have to be
able to understand Turkish fluently to make any sense out of anything you
picked up on the scanner.

lol, could be, although myself, after what happened in Greece or wherever it
was, I wouldn't risk it, even if they just confiscated the scanner, that
would be bad enough. Some of these countries are not so easy-going about
ordinary people listening in on radio comms, even if it is only civ-air.

Take a short-wave (& LW/MW/FM) broadcast radio, there wont be any
question that it covers other frequencies.

I should think that taking a scanner to Turkey is about as wise as putting
your fingers in the light socket, whilst taking a shower.

It does amaze me how much trouble plane spotters (not suggesting the
OP is a plane spotter of course go to.

My plane is cross-referenced on various spotter websites, by its
airframe serial number, and against that is every tail number it has
ever existed under. They have even got the tail number which was
attached to it for only a few days during manufacture, and they have
the number on which it was ferried to the UK. I can guess where some
of the unusual data came from; somebody inside the CAA very likely,
with access to import paperwork, or perhaps a hack into a CAA database
(I don't mean G-INFO). However, the good quality data ends abruptly
sometime in 2004; perhaps somebody left their job, or a password got
changed?

The only thing they haven't got is the crankshaft serial number - not
easy to get I suppose

It's not a Jet then?
