Football Coach's Headset Frequency

[orangenut]

High School & College monitoring

I'm very new to scanning and don't know squat about it. I want to monitor the coach's conversations. Nothing nefarious, just interested.
I have a Radio Shack Pro-97 scanner and am having a hard time learning how to use it.
I live in a small town in Oklahoma and love going to the local high school football games. I also sometime attend Oklahoma State Univerity games.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I was at a high school football game the other night and found the two sides using adjacent GMRS/FRS channels, 462.6125 and 462.6375.

I would thing those eXRS radios would be a much better choice.

A lot of Div 1 College football teams use CoachComm Tempest FX sets, with a Verizon, ATT, What ever wireless sponsors the team. They are in the 2.4Ghz band with multiple bases for full duplex

NFL headsets

Last I knew the headsets were in the UHF band up around 462 MHz and they were suppose to be encrypted. Never was able to confirm that.

In 2015-2016 what does the NFL use now?

Also is Karl Voss ( NFL FREQUENCY COORDINATOR) a member on RR??

They currently use custom built Mototrbo with advanced privacy keys for the coach to helmet comms in the NFL. They are UHF and use the same/similar freqs as the old analog and DES protected helmet comm systems. I found the freqs via FCC and took a scanner to a game. Then recorded some audio and tried to demodulate it later via DSD.Seems low power.....TT

Pretty much the same Low Power UHF Frequencies they had before, but now using TRBO with (rumors - I've not seen anyone actually post any SDR monitoring intel) possibly the Encryption enabled

DES ?? The analog was basically the Transcrypt rolling code inversion (aka Donald Duck)

I could only imagine their definitely using DES or AES single key encryption. Their radios have to be at least 1 watt ( more like 4 watts) of power though. Especially inside a dome style stadium. All the metal would absorb a lot of the RF energy and even with digital transmissions would either have some static to them or wouldn't go more then 100 yards.
