I don't know what this guy's deal is, but he's hung up on eavesdropping on cordless phones for some reason. He keeps asking about it.

I asked a very simple question...Thats all Someone posted about how much a guy on e-bay wanted for a radio that could be bought for $119.00 at RS and he was wanting $300 for it. Went looking on e-bay and found the scaneers running up to 1.3ghz were alot more that the scanners that just operate to 955.00......Just wondering what the difference was....Damn...I bet some of you have never had a date in your life...

The PRO-95 does not cover 955-1300. It covers up to 960 then jumps to 1240-1300 which is a ham band. In factory trim that is.

Not if the date couldn't tell the difference between a legal question and a frequency band usage question! :lol:

Wild guess.. but I am willing to bet bb is under 21. Thus the hyperactive phone fantasy.
Anyway on the topic: When you ask a legal question we'll answer it.. You have yet to do so, only a money vs bandwidth tech type query.
As to how many dates we have been on, thats the type of personal attack that can lead you to flame war.. And flame war leads to banning, and so on....

There is not very much to listen to in that range.
941-960 various fixed point to point microwave services
960-1240 TACAN, DME and other aeronautical navaids
1240-1300 23cm amateur band.
about the only FM voice transmissions you will be able to hear
on a scanner are the very few 23 cm amateur repeaters.

Re: Quick Follow-up...
It's not that the frequencies in that range are illegal to monitor, it's cordless phones, whatever the frequency, that you can't legally listen to. AFAIK, all cordless phones are Part 15 devices, which basically means they aren't primary users of any band they happen to appear in. (I know, that's an over-simplification, but it's close enough for the purposes of this discussion.) The original 800MHz cellphone band is the only specific band that is blocked by law in scanners. Everything else is cut either as a cost-saving measure, to prevent image reception of the above mentioned 800MHz band, or simply doesn't contain anything really worth monitoring, such as the previously-mentioned microwave links and navaids.
You'll find that many of us who struggled through the original scanner wars tend to react negatively on the subject of cellular and/or cordless phone monitoring. It was in part the careless actions of a few with scanners that led to the 800MHz ban; and we are well aware that people who would like to stop the scanning hobby are reading these forums looking for more ammunition to use against us.

I'm going to say this, and this is not to throw flames out. If someone asks a question about the cell frequencies, or the cordless frequencies, which are still able to be monitored on a lot of older radios, don't jump down the guy's throat! People seem to fire off at a question about "illegal monitoring" with knee-jerk reactions, and then a flame war starts. Calm down, guys! Calm down!

for details see the US spectrum allocation chart
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/allochrt.html
There is virtually nothing to listen to on a AM/FM/SSB receiver above 940
MHz. It is full of radiolocation, radar, navigational aids, point to point
microwave links, etc.
You might hear some FM or SSB on the 1240-1300, 2300-2310,
2390-2450, 3300-3500 MHz amateur bands.
There might be some FM cordelss phones on the 2400-2450 ISM band
which are illegal to listen to as pointed out before.
Everything else will be digital, pulsed, or wideband multiplexed stuff that
you probably wouldn't even be able to detect at all with an R20, let alone listen to it.
I have heard of people over 30 years ago that used to listen to
pnone calls on the telephone company microwave links but stuff like that
is all high speed wideband digital (much more capacity) now.

Spectrum Usage Link
Just found a handy link detailing the usage of frequencies:
http://www.jneuhaus.com/fccindex/spectrum.html
This will tell you what radio services occupy what portions of the spectrum.
