- *_Introduction_*
- Scanning has been in existence since the late 70s, and is still widely
- used today. It has become very useful, informative, and, if you learn
- what to scan, it can be fun.
-
- *_Definition_*
- Taken right from the webster's:
- Frequency(n): the number of complete oscillations per second of energy
- (as sound or electromagnetic radiation) in the form of waves
-
- *_Scanners_*
- I recommend a radio shack scanner, taking into consideration the price
- and quality. A Uniden is also a good choice, except they're very expensive
- ($200 upwards). The radio shack models that are easy to modify are the
- PRO-2004 and PRO-2005. (Current price is around $100)
-
- *_Cordless Freqs_*
- These are a list of channels that _NON 900MHZ CORDLESS PHONES_ use.
- Tune your scanner to the "base" listing, unless you aren't getting a
- good reception. The "handset" listing will SOMETIMES enable you to hear
- whats going on inside the person's house when the phone is hung up.
- This usually only works with the cheaper models. The handset listing
- will also only let you listen the one side of the convo.

- *_900Mhz Cordless Phones_*
- The newer cordless phones operate on the 900mhz band.
- They use this band because you can get clearer responses with it.
- The ones at the bottom of the list are really neat. They give the EXACT
- freqs of certain cordless phones. If you know what kind of phone your
- neighbor has, listen in. It's good blackmale material ;]

- *_Having Fun With your Scanner_*
- (Courtesy of RBCP & The Phone Losers of America)
- CAUSING MAJOR TROUBLE WITH YOUR SCANNER
- -After your neighbor's place a pizza order and the pizza parlor has
- already called back to verifiy the order, call the pizza parlor back
- and make major changes to their order. Add a few dozen cans of coke,
- twisty bread and lots of sub sandwhiches. Then listen to the confusion
- when the customer gets their order and calls the pizza parlor back to
- yell at them.
- -Listen to the taxicab dispatcher and when they read off an address they're
- going to, call all the other competing cabs in the area and send them to
- the same address. Taxi companies have a problem with other taxis listening
- in to their frequencies and picking up their customers before they can so
- when they all meet at this address, they'll each assume that's what the
- other did and if you're lucky, a fist fight will errupt.
- -If your scanner is handheld, plug some headphones into it and take it with
- you on beige boxing expeditions. If someone calls the cops, you will know
- about it and can leave before they show up. Of course, if a cop is just
- patrolling and sees you clipping into a telco can, you are screwed anyway.
- (Submitted by Brian)
- -This is my favorite form of CHEAP entertainment with my scanner.
- I have one of those cool Radio Shack amplified all weather speakers
- in my car and I go to the drive through at the fast food restaurant.
- When the person in front of me places his order, I turn it on and his
- order is blasted all over the parking lot. The manager comes out to check
- what is wrong..It is LOTS of fun! Also, when I place my order i hold the
- speaker next to the Order microphone and it confuses the clerk taking the
- order! They ask me to repeat it, etc. This usually gets the attention of
- the store manager and he comes and inspects the equipment. I also take my
- handheld scanner into the dining room and connect to the external speaker
- and get weird looks from the customers and manager.
- (submitted by Sorrenti - daves@csnet.net)
- -I was listening to my scanner one day, and I started hearing this dial
- tone, so I whipped out the ole recorder. This guy was dialing his VMB
- number, and then the VMB asked for his name, so he dialed his name in
- (the name was probably numbers), and then it asked for his security code
- or something like that, and he dialed in about 5 digits, and then his VMB
- said he had no messages. Now, if this happens to you when scanning,
- you can record the tones and decode them to know what numbers they exactly
- are. Now that is a another way of "hacking" or getting into someone's VMB
- machine. (submitted by American Anarchist)
