Have seen what you have said but do you not think it might be more sensible to repeal the law which is widely flouted and appears to serve little if any useful purpose? Were it vital the communications remained confidential I am sure some form of encrypted form of communication could be used.
I think the fact no individual has ever been prosecuted for listening to airband and the receiving equipment is widely on sale tends to indicate that "the authorities" have other rather important matters to attend to and are not in the least concerned about the practise.
