Loads to listen to in the microwave range of freq's i.e. above the usual 1.3 - 1.5 Ghz that most scanning takes place up to.
The "problems" are that once you start taking an interest in freq's between 1.3 and 3Ghz (and higher) you start encountering digital modulation techniques, multiplexing, bandwidths, error corrections and a bunch of other tech aspects to these transmissions that to enable full exploitation/monitoring and listening, you start needing receiver capability that the average consumer type scanner/receiver just doesn't offer, or if it does, is usualy in a very limited form.
Propagation and therefore antenna type used for reception also starts to become more critical than it is with VHF and UHF frequency monitoring, as many (but not all) of the transmissions encountered in this range are not only directional (terrestrial tower) type and/or satellite based, but are often very limited in power output. Gain and S/N (signal to noise ratio) becomes much more relivant than they are in general VHF/UHF scanning.
Still, don't shy away from taking an interest - digital signal processing nowadays puts the ability to process these transmissions both technicly, and cost wise, within the scope of amatures. Demodulating some of the more exotic modulation techniques used, and attempting to recover the signal content (audio/visual or data) can be great fun(!!)
It's amazing what can be done with the IF output of a decent receiver input into a PC with an A/D card, suitable software and the time and determination to learn how to process the received signals.
