- I am trying to put together a list of frequencies for the low orbit
- weather satelites. Such as NOAA Meteosat etc. If anyone has freqs please
- post them to me and I will compile a 'definitive list' and post it on the net.
- It might also be an idea to state what mode (apt or hrpt) is transmitted
- on any frequencies listed.

- Original article title: FCC Gets New Weapon Vs. Pirates
-
-
- WASHINGTON (AP) -- The radio police have a new weapon to fight
- pirates of the airways.
- The Federal Communications Commission on Friday showed off a car
- equipped with two computers, a color printer and a satellite
- receiver in the trunk. Driven through cities and neighborhoods, it
- can detect unlicensed radio signals and signals that may cause
- interference.
- ``This will give us a lot of advantages against the bad guys, no
- doubt about it,'' FCC Chairman Reed Hundt said, standing next to a
- dusty blue Chevrolet Caprice parked on 20th Street.
- By June the FCC will have 10 such cars, each installed with
- $75,000 worth of equipment. The commission would not say which of
- its 35 field offices, located in most major cities, will be the
- first to receive the cars.
- The goal is to eventually give each field office at least two
- cars. How soon that happens, Hundt said, depends on Congress'
- appropriations to the agency.
- The FCC finds about two or three pirated radio signals a month,
- ranging from people trying to operate low power FM radio stations
- to taxi cab dispatchers. Businesses and boat operators, however,
- are the biggest culprits, said commission spokesman Steve Svab.
- Inside each car is a control station between the driver and
- passenger seats. It features a mobile phone, a computer keyboard
- and two small screens: one for computer commands and ther other for
- display maps and other information.
- With the equipment, an FCC agent can pick up a radio signal,
- delve into a data base to find out if it is authorized and pinpoint
- the location of the transmitter, said Jim Higgins, an FCC engineer
- who helped design the system.
- In addition, data can be transmitted from the car to a central
- location or from one car to another.
- Right now, field agents can't do any of these things from a car
- and must rely on less sophisicated equipment inside their offices
- to track down unlicensed signals and interference problems, Svab
- said.
- Pirates who are caught can be fined up to several thousand
- dollars a day.
