Transmitter Freq

[Spleen]

The "economy" baby monitors use the 43-50MHz cordless phone band...walk around a neighborhood with a scanner scanning that limit will probably get you more baby monitors than phones these days. I was house-sitting last week in a suburban neighborhood and had to go out on the porch to light up--just for the hell of it, I fired up the Pro-94 and did a search--I didn't have to step off the porch to pick up three baby monitors and a ringing phone, and that was just searching 43-50...

I might add that there are apparently "deluxe" baby monitors that use 900Mhz frequencies, too.

Re: Freq

Well some would say listening to how often their neighbors fight is even more fun! :twisted: :twisted:

Damn skippy it is! Especially when they are on the phone with 911 while the argument is ensuing. In my complex is a little ghetto-ish family that not only owns an old cordless but a baby monitor as well. Well long story short, one night I hear them yelling at each other from across the courtyard so I tune in to see what they are up to (yes I am a nosy S.O.B.) and she is on the phone with 911, the baby monitor is on and the cops get dispatched. 3 scanners going and I had a virtual front row seat. Dude got drunk and started smacking the girlfriend around and then tried to take on 3 cops with a dining room chair. It was like listening to a COPS episode. I watched them cart him off. Great fun.
