International Spy Museum Gets "Real" Frequencies

[dtscho]

The International Spy Museum has applied for five simplex UHF frequencies. These will most likely replace their current system of a couple unlicensed UHF dot/star/itinerant freqs. The application number is 0003029054. The five freqs:

461.9875
462.3500
464.3625
464.9125
464.9625

As a side note, the Spy Museum has at least one thing that might be of interest to scanner listeners: an "ancient" scanner that the Soviets used from their embassy to monitor unencrypted FBI transmissions.

Hey watch it, I grew up on the Pro-6, the UHF/VHF model of that same scanner! Are you calling me ancient?



Seriously though, that thing really brings back some memories.

Scanner?? That's funny,they in fact probably had their very own FBI Issue MX360 or Saber in the 1980's courtesy of traitor Robert Hanssen.

The Spy Museum is using at least one of the five frequencies now. 464.9125 [146.2] was active yesterday with security.

The FCC application for the frequencies is still pending, so they're not licensed yet.
