Pro 97 newbie question - scan 900mhz cordless phone

[bebo]

Hello, I'm newbie here, I just bout Pro 97 from Radio Shack and I'm totally confused as how to setup to scan our phone cordless 900Mhz Panasonic and Uniden.

If anyone has any quick basic setup, I'd really appreciate that. The prepogram frequencies are from 40 to 469 max, how could I increase to 900? And what mode to scan 900Mhz phone? Is it DCS mode or CT mode?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Since it is against the law to scan cordless phones, the newer scanners won't scan them unless it is modified. I use to work for RadioShack and this is what they told us. This was about 5 years ago though.

cordless phones huh? your about 6+ years to late to listem to those.

PRO-97 1000 Channel Triple Trunking Scanner
Frequency Range: 25-54, 107-174, 216.0025-512, 806-823.9875, 849-868.9875, 894-960, 1240-1300 MHz

Cordless phones are digital. They are also spread spectrum.

You have a none digital scanner. Most cordless phones are digital. Plus 900mhz phones are rare. Most people have 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz phones.

You also have to be within range 50ft-100ft. So chances of you finding a non digital phone without spread spectrum is rare.

Alot of things are illegal but the chances of hearing a conversation is slim to non.

You have to be in range and someone has to be talking.

man i know this tread is really old but man you be :shock: how many folks still use 900mhz cordless phones puls they are even the number 1 seller of cordless phones on ebay ok my question is are they any of the new scanners that pick up 2.5mhz :?:

It can be done but as said above no one uses 900mhz's any longer.

All phones now are on the 2.4 - 5.4 Ghz spectrum.

If you interested in conversations plug in some HAM radio frequencies.
Their always fun to listen to.

Back in the early and mid 90's I had a analog scanner that could pick up lots of cordless phone conversations if you wanted to.

The things people talk about on cordless phones..........drug deals, cheating on spouses, all kinds of $hit. Not that I listened or anything, that's just what someone told me. :wink:

I have the AOR AR1000 scanner and back in the day (before it was discontinued in 1994) I could pick up cellular phones in the 800 MHz range.
