Getting a good signal from my neighbor's cordless phone on 905 mhz. I
wonder if he QSL's?

Anyway, I figure I might as well starting posting about this kind of
crap if the group is going to be overrun by irrelevant HD posts.

Back in the 80's and early 90's, I had a Bearcat Scanner, with an 800
MHZ converter (mounted dipole in the attic), and used to listen to
cell phones, baby monitors, and cordless phones, before they went
digital and moved up in frequencies. I heard four of our neighbors
having affairs, some couples had baby monitors in their master
bedrooms, and heard a "young thing" talking with a married man over a
cell phone, threatening to tell his wife. One "young thing" was
talking dirty over her cell phone, to her boyfriend on his way over,
and I thought he was going to wreck his car. It was great, knowing
exactly what our neighbors were fighting about - the baby monitors and
cell phones had a range of at least a mile.

Gotta love those "young thangs" lol. I still hear lots of things in
the 800-900 mhz range on my BC245XLT. Mostly cordless phones and baby
monitors, though,- Hide quoted text -

I tried my scanner recently and it was totally dark. I thought most
cordless phones and baby monitors now were digital, with spread-
spectrum, or some form of scrambling/encryption ?
