Elan,

I had no problem with your reply and thanks for the help.  I should have 
said receive or monitor their transmissions, but using the word intercept 
was just a habit from listening to utilities  such on shortwave.  When we 
heard something rare we'd call them intercepts.

Do you know what frequencies their helmet camera's use?  It might be 
interesting to see if video cam be captured.

 I was thinking while watching last nights EVA on the ISS,
 has anyone here 
 ever tried to intercept the space suit communications
 during EVA's?  I'm 
 not sure what the output of the transmitters are, but with
 a good system 
 you still should be able to hear 100 - 200mw. 
 Probably a weird digital 
 transmission mode so you still wouldn't be able to tell was
 they were 
 saying, but that's why there is NasaTV.
