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.


For the most part you're right, but there are some analog 2.4GHz
cordless telephones out there at the bottom of the pricing tiers, just
as there were with 900MHz phones.
