Can someone use a scanner to detect my frequency and listen to all my calls?

No. The radio channel is encrypted. Apart from the NSA who can probably crack the encryption, or the police with a court order, the conversation is private. Note that many/most calls are electronically screened for key words (within the network where the voice is no longer encrypted) and anything suspicious is collected for human analysis. Again this is NSA type stuff - your conversation is private from Joe public

Why, are you talking to Al Queda??
Just kidding.
Yeah - people could feasibly listen to your cell phone calls, but it isn't very easy (or cheap), so it isn't too much of a problem most of the time.
Unless you have some kind of really ultrasecret sensitive information that someone could justify spending the cash to listen in, then you probably don't have anything to worry about.
