As others have stated... FRS Channel 1 is 462.5625 MHz > I suspect that it's someone monitoring a parent's or > grandparent's house. I know where the house is located.

There won't be gmrs repeater on that frequency... and if there was a problem on a gmrs slot you'd do well to forget about the "willful interference" poop and just find out what's going on if it's bothering something critical. Otherwise use one of the other available FRS Channels and get on with your life. Unless someone is causing problems just to be an pain in the @$$ it doesn't help to get up on the FCC License high horse until you really know what's going on. And then only in most people's opinion if it's a real problem. > Also, there's no tone or digital code going out, just a carrier > with a bit of audio once in a while... Could be any number of devices... but they normally are not rated or spec to carry a mile distance but sometimes that happens. I can work FRS radios 10 miles away from a repeater site. > So the question is, is this guy doing anything illegal by > broadcasting 24x7 inside a house, like an old baby monitor, on > a FRS frequency? In the real world only if they are causing a "real interference problem" and/or using equipment the wrong way. > Please direct replies to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] so as not to > clutter up this fine resource list. Thank you. > Ray_ KBØSTN If you're that stuck on knowing what the transmissions are about... stop and ask them about it. Tell them you can hear what's going on at some location in/around their location/house. They might not even know you can hear their device so far away. s.
