monitor with a scanner is the cordless phone frequencies.
In no way am I saying that I monitor them now,
or that you should, but back when it was more legal to
do so, you bet your bippy I did. "wink, wink."
Times have changed, and so the methed of stalking
those elusive frequencies has changed as well.
First of all if you have an old 10 channel scanner with
out some of the modern bells and whistles, you might
as well give it up. Here's why; Back in the good old days,
their was just a few set frequencies allocated for cordless
phones. All manufacturers had to use just those frequencies.
In other words "all phones used the same frequencies."
Since no one except for granny may still have one of these
old cordless phones you wont hear much on the old
cordless frequencies, so I wont even bother to list them.
back in the 90s the fcc allocated an entire band of the radio
spectrum to cordless phones (902mhz-928mhz). Remember that
or write it down. You'll need to know the numbers later.
Now that their is an entire band the frequency possablities
are in the hundreds if not more and frequencies can differ
from manufacturer to manufacturer.
What to do? What to do? This is what can be done.
If you have a late model scanner it should have a "limit search"
feature. Learn how to use it. Set the lower limit to 902mhz
and then set the upper limit to 928mhz and let it search thru
step by step each frequency. Their is no real need to program
a found frequency in to a channel since most if not all
phones change frequencies every time they are put back
on the charger. One would hear most close cordless phones in their area if they did this.
NOTE: If you only hear one
side of the conversation you are listening to the handset
unit of the phone. Hit the "search" button again to
find the base unit wich will transmit both sides of the
conversation.
But the fcc has thrown more crap in to the game recently,
by allocating the new 1.2ghz, 2ghz and 5ghz bands for
cordless phone use. That aint good for a couple of reasons.
Since annoying router(modem) signals use the same bands
and most scanners dont go up that high.
However, dont get all upset because only the most expencive
cordless phones use the new bands and or digital encryption.
In other words most cordless phones use the 900mhz band
and some of the new high end scanners, and I mean the kind
that hamers use can monitor these higher frequencies.
Happy scanning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
