Uniden had a extra handset and charger.
You would be surprised how many people still use them. At least in my area still and the conversations are still the same.I used to hear quite a few cordless phones on 46 and 49 Mhz. I have heard neighbors making drug deals. Baby monitors were also popular.
There are Two of the 902-928 mhz. variety still working in my complex.You would be surprised how many people still use them. At least in my area still and the conversations are still the same.
Definitely a bit surprised. I guess as long as handset batteries are still available they can be kept going.You would be surprised how many people still use them. At least in my area still and the conversations are still the same.
Batteries America stock several varieties of those little 3.7 volt flat packs, so if people need to replace them, there's a source.Definitely a bit surprised. I guess as long as handset batteries are still available they can be kept going.
Same here, around 1995. CT1+ Phones on 900MHz could reach quite far, I modified the antennas on them, up to 1.6 Miles were possible. We even had speech inversion on them.I remember taking a Uniden Cordless Phone running power and phoneline up my 80 foot tower mounting everything in a waterproof box antenna out of the bottem. The cordless phone would work over 12 blocks away. This was 1979-1980
Those 902mhz phones are in the clear? Thought by then they had some kind of voice inversion.There are Two of the 902-928 mhz. variety still working in my complex.
There are different types. Analog FM and several digital modes.Those 902mhz phones are in the clear? Thought by then they had some kind of voice inversion.
+1. I thought almost zero chance of hearing anything on either band.I kept the 49 and 900 MHz channels in most of my scanners back then. I need to check them out again.
Yeah, I remember those when I was working for the USG back around 2002. I had been at one location and some signal would periodically wipe out our encrypted tactical satellite comms. The next time I went to that location I took my Pro-43 with me and monitored the frequencies around that of our comms to see if I could find out what it was. Turned out it was one of those phones as I could hear the conversations in Arabic, and the signal was very strong. Consulting with others, I was told that often times one person in a neighborhood would have them, and they would allow their neighbors to use the phone at times. It sure was a real PITA from time to time!These higher power cordless phones were also popular in Iraq, during the Global War on Terror(ism)......and they caused problems in more ways than one. But, were easier to direction find than sniffing out a specific cell phone with a "fish" named Harris device or DRT branded receiver.
I remember a couple models from Uniden did have single inversion scrambling on them, and could even be used as a intercom between handsets.Those 902mhz phones are in the clear? Thought by then they had some kind of voice inversion.
WHY would you want to interfere with someone's right to make a phone call though ?Nothing was more fun than a low band high split Motorola MT1000 programmed for 43/49MHz cordless phone pairs. Nothing.
With a receiver that could hear the base units a mile away, and 6+ watts of raw transmit power, one could OWN your phone.
Oops !Back in the 90s there was a local 2m repeater located on the tower at the owners house. He decided to be nice and put an open autopatch on the repeater. He connected it to his house phone and forgot to tell the family. You could bring up the autopatch and his wife could be in the middle of a call. Often the patch would time out at 10 minutes and someone would bring it back up to listen more. I guess she eventually figured it out and the patch got taken down.
With the right conditions, who knows how far that signal may have ultimately traveled!. There was a girl on the stronger signal ordering pizza, and when she gave them her address, I was pretty shocked, she was about 3/4 of a mile away. I called a friend who lived over 7 miles away, and he could hear her without any problems on his scanner on 46.710MHZ! The neighbor could hear her in the background when she was talking, so it had to be pretty powerful.
