Football coaches headsets (?)

[bassmkenk2508]

Anyone have information on what frequency areas football coaches headsets are typically found in?
I am specifically more interested in the college venues.

FYI, I have consulted the Wiki and general web searches already.
The wiki has info on cordless mic's but I was not sure if it would be similar for what I am after.

Thanks all, in advance

I've read that they're encrypted, so the opposing team can't hear the coaches.

I posted an article on this very subject from popular mechanics on this very thing here a few monts ago. EVERYTHING is encrypted.

it makes good sense that they have developed that corner of communications as such.
as always we understand why things have to be done the way they are, but us enthusiasts that dont use scanners to do bad things always sob when encryption comes up

Now that would make some sense!!!!

Is it just voice inversion?
It would be interesting if someone took a BC246T to a game to confirm.

I have a very good friend that coachs D-2 football , there system was bought from Moto, the way it works is 800 mhz, and scrambled, they have a key card that reprograms the whole thing every week, kind of like the DVP system used in law enforcement, he told me on a couple of occasions that they suspected they might be getting overheard they went to the press box at half and just changed the code at half, There are some high school teams out there that I know still use analog headsets but I would be surprised If you found any in collage.
