[Dave Horsfall posted a diatribe on Choice magazine's terminology
regarding mobile phone eavbesdropping].

Awww, come on - Choice is aimed at the general public, who wouldn't
know (or care about?) the difference between a ham radio rig, a scanner,
a CB radio, or an AM/FM trannie. They're all "radios".

I think that Choice does a fairly good job of covering technical areas,
though they can't be expected to delve as deeply as you may like (eg.
to explain the difference between a Radio Operator and a scanner user/
"radio operator").
