George, I don't know if this will help, but the old Atomic Clock/Thermometers I have use 433.92 MHz. I have no trouble picking them up on my 440 handheld.
The bad part is that the transmissions are bursts. If I remember right they happened maybe every 30 seconds or so and lasted for about one second.

I carefully took the atomic-clock/temperature-receiver and placed it on my workbench for me to pack. Then I went outside, removed the outside temperature transmitter and placed it next to the clock on the workbench.... Along come the movers. Now, mind you, these are professional movers....fast, courteous, efficient. Efficient to the point that earlier this year, John packed Dave's coat into a box for a house that they were packing. Dave forgot to mention to John that the coat on the back of the chair was his....so it got packed. Took them an hour to unpack boxes and find it! In my case, I was answering questions in another part of the house when they decided to pack my workbench. No problem, its in a box. Now I know its in a box. I found the atomic-clock/thermometer and noticed that it shows an inside temperature of 70 degrees and an outside temperature of 65 degrees which means that the outside thermometer/transmitter is somewhere within 500 ft....but, all of the boxes in the house are within 500 ft. I'll be darned if I can find which box the thermometer/transmitter is in....but, I know its there....I can see the reading! I am now in the process of moving the clock/thermometer to various places among the boxes to see if I can get readings that match. If the readings match, I know that the thermometer/transmitter is nearby. Hopefully that will help me find the missing transmitter. If that doesn't work, I am going to move the boxes...group by group...to an upstairs warmer location. When I see the temperature go up, I will know that one of the boxes contains the missing unit. If anyone has any other suggestions, please drop me a note! If I knew the frequency that the unit was transmitting on, I would set up the HT to listen to that frequency. Maybe then I could do some "transmitter hunting".
