I
have been told that they are often digitally encrypted, but others have
told
me they can be picked up in the 450-465 range just like any other short
range radio.

Thanks for the help,

don't know about Stateside, but here in the UK, PMR446 is increasingly
used for such diverse situations as intercom, vehicle control, site
security and even school outings. There's 304 channels available (8x38)
seperated by (I think) 6.25KHz from 446.0-447.9MHz.

You got that wrong. There are 8 channels from 446.0 to 446.1 with 12.5 Khz
channel spacing and a 6.25 Khz offset.

In the U.S., those freqs are right in the middle of the ham band or, is it
different in the UK?
