Default 2.4 GHz Capable Scanner?

You will not be able to hear DSS cordless phones. The whole point of using
DSS (digital spread spectrum) is to make it much harder to decode; it is
impossible to decode with just an analog scanner. Many standard analog 900
MHz phones are still in use, and you don't need anything special to monitor
them. Pretty much any reasonably up-to-date scanner will work for that.

If you are buying a high-end receiver to try to get 2.4 GHz phones, you're
wasting your money. On the other hand, once you discover you can't, please
post your FS ad here so we can get an almost brand-new receiver for a
discount.
