You have no business on either of those frequencies.


Depends upon where you are.

433mhz is a SHARED ham band throughout the world.

In ITU zone 1 and possibly elsewhere, there is a small allocation
of 433mHz for unlicensed devices.

There also is one at 315mHz, but that may be a different part of the
world.

It is used for wireless doorbells, security systems, etc. Basicly low
power
unlicensed telemetry.

If you look on eBay, you will find hundreds of the devices. A quick web
search
shows the 433 mHz units sold in the US.

315 mHz is in a band used by the US military, where they are already
"tolerating" a fair amount of intrusion from garage door openers and similar
devices. I was privvy to some US Navy classified message traffic that
discussed the issue. (It was classified because it identified specific
frequencies and such are always classified.)

This fellow, "new to the field," as he self-indentifies, seems like a source
for interference more than learning. A bit risky.
