Another question would be...

what exactly is the Motorola radio set that the coach wears used for (other
than for advertising Motorola)?

The quarterback has radio contact with the coach? On a 100 yard football
field?
Figure that the quarterback has better things on his mind than saying into a
radio in a learned communications tone..

"Roger. In position to advance one zero yards downrange.
Initiating offensive sequence delta two. Acknowledge time remaining is zero
one four six. Downs one."

I can see radio contact with Nascar races, but football players?

Pretty secure, for obvious reasons.

Talking/listening to the coaches box.


The quarterback has radio contact with the coach?

First, there's No talk-back. On Some teams, the person
talking to the quarterback is on the sideline (often the
second-string QB), but I don't think any of the teams have
the head coach do it. If it isn't done on the field, it's
from the coach's box.

Prevents communications breakdown.

The truth as I perceive it to be.
Your perception may be different.

Triple Z is spam control.

Weird.

More weird.

But can see a bit of value in that, since the coach's box is way up there in
the same structure as the press box is.

Never see that in a NHL hockey game. The coach is spending a lot of time
yellin' profanities at the team players who aren't
producing.

But see that same thing in Canadian football (radio headsets), but most
often you see the coach yellin' profanties at the team players who missed an
opportunity to do a scoring drive after taking off from the 55 yard line on
a long pass, on the 3rd and final down.

Im almost positive they use a digital transmission so they cant be
monitored by anyone (like the defense of the other team) so i wouldnt
spend much time searching for the frequency.

Having moved to NJ from upstate NY years ago we don't see too many Buffalo
games. I was somewhat excited the Buffalo game was on Sunday. What a
disappointment!

It is a secure link to the spotters in the press box.

I don't believe the quarterback is allowed to be in direct contact
with the coaching staff via radio. That's why the coach signals from
the side lines, or sends in the play with a player.

If you do not see a rubber ducky antenna on one side of the headphones
or a cable leading down to a handie-talkie some place on their person then look
for a long cable following the coach around, the headsets may be "Hard Wired" to
a team intercom-inter headset system.
Will the stadium security allow a police scanner in the stands? If they do
try a search
from 460 Mhz to 470 Mhz for their communications! Out in the parking lot is
another good
place to try a search before and after the game.
