Who remembers cordless telephone convos on your scanner?

Wasn't he raped and killed in prison?

No. I believe he went on to either help the FBI or created his own security company. Much like Frank Abigail... You may remember the movie Catch Me If You Can? The main character Frank Abigail is played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Great posts. Yes, but not on a scanner - I remember listening to cordless phones on the upper part of the AM band and slightly above. This was in the '80's when cordless phones used 1.6 - 1.8 MHz.

If you had an old TV that would go up to UHF Channel 83, you could pick up analog cellphone conversations on the audio channel.

Thanks, wish I knew that then.

No.
Otherwise he would not have been able to be on "The Screensavers"

He did pass away from cancer last year. RIP Kevin.

Frank is a conman and fraud. Kevin learned from his mistakes and ended up running his own security company. The 2 are very different.

… we were scanning around the 900 band with his Icom IC-R7000, he also had the TV box for it. We came across a baby monitor…

People have those in their own bedrooms, if that's where the crib is. Sometimes they forget to turn them off.

My high school buddy and I found some baby monitors that put Playboy Magazine to shame for our teen-age entertainment.
