Lots of frequencies posted around here, ducky.
What do you want to listen to and where are you roughly? (i.e. North of the River)

A scanner with Close Call, however you would have to be right in there face to 'pick it up'.
"VKI, NJ050 will you be attending the job?"
"Negative VKI, my desk is bolted to the floor".

Close to the reciever (Being the square box at the sound desk) you could,
Depending on what brand they use at the gig, (Shure usually) Will depend on the frequencie.
But as I say, it's dependent on the Brand used. So it could be anywhere between 554.000 and 865.000 MHz.

True, but try doing a band scan from 700 to 800MHz first. There's few other services in the band and it's popular for wireless mics.

from about 760-820 are where most of the wireless mikes are, you wont be able to hear anything that is "hard wired"
To stop displaying signatures, go to the User Control Panel > Board Preferences > Edit display options > Display signatures > No > Submit

Only the Uniden ones that specify it I *think*.
