I have a Uniden radio scanner which I would like to take with me to Dubai for a couple of days. I have had a live chat with a Dubai customs rep and he said it was not allowed. I did not specify that it was to listen to Air Traffic, merely that it was a radio receiver and it doesn't transmit.
I don't think that it is illegal to listen to ATC in Dubai as you can listen in with LiveATC. I was wondering if anyone has been to Dubai with an airband receiver or any opinions on whether I should take it or not.
I thought of taking off the antenna and mixing up the radio with a bunch of chargers, cables and phones.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
