4. 29mHz cordless phones. Do any still exist?


I don't remember any cordless at 29 MHz. As I recall, the first cordless
were 1.8/49 MHz (you could buy antenna kits with a long wire for base
transmit. We could get around a 4-5 block range with those). Second
generation went to 46/49 MHz, and could be heard on many cheap baby
monitors.

Jim, at nospam dot com said what I was going to say from the very
start.But, howsomever, it wasen't meself whom threw this thread off
topic,,, or was it?

They did exist. I remember finding one on my Kenwood R-5000. They were
in that small spread between 29.7 mHz (the end of the 10m ham band) and 30mHz.

I found it listening for 10m FM activity.
