I have serviced alarm systems in the 27Mhz band, they were 5 watt
units made by Baldwin Hawkeye Systems. The frequency allocations were
mostly in between channels in the old RC "hole slots" or above channel 40.

Some of the car alarms also use CB bands for the pager units. My neigbors
kept going off so much that I sampled the signal and retransmitted it at
random 3-5am intervals until he stopped using the remote function of the
alarm. Same type of things found with the original auto cell phones hooked
to the horn.
