Somehow I don't believe that the microwave links are analog in any form at all.

I'm sorry but I don't think this guy really knows what he's talking about.

However, I will stand corrected if someone buys an AOR scanner and proves me wrong. Lol :)

He said if you tune your scanner to "thirty thousand, one hundred" you hear phone calls. So the screen on the scanner says:

Code: Select all

30.100
Mistaking the . for a , and you have 30.1Mhz. The classic old-school analogue cordless phone frequency. These old phones are getting rarer (huge telescopic antennas are so 80s) but I suppose there's still enough around to provide a signal.

Oh, of course. The old analog phones. I thought he was talking about 30 gig digital links.

Yes, you'd be surprised what you can hear on 30.1 with a 27mhz station master antenna in your backyard. (Not that i've tried, but just what i've heard!)

edit: just listened to it again, and the guy did say "30 thousand megs" but I do know what he actually meant.

The guy is still a bit confused because he thinks it's mobile phones he can hear, not landline-based cordless phones :)

Yes you just have to be careful with the inane ramblings of old people. we have some at work and they just go off on a tangent sometimes. Its not their fault though so you should still be nice to them.

I heard that guy too. Do AOR or Yupiteru even make scanners that do 30 gigs?
