Secure unless someone has a base station that uses an identical chipset
and forces it into receive mode. This does require some tinkering, but
it can be done. Don't kid yourself, the FHSS and DSSS technology used by
cordless phone manufacturers are not designed for security, they are
just basic chipsets with a minimum of support components. And the
advertised 64 bazillion security codes have nothing to do with the
sequence, it's only for the off hook negotiation (aka: line seizure) and
ring triggering on an inbound call. Remember, a lot of those SS units
still have a 'channel' button, and there's only 10 to 25 'channels' on
these things. That would point to a limit of 10 to 25 spread patterns.
Splurge the $19 at Target and buy a popular unit and dig into it,
there's not a lot in there.

five times a second, and the other one is a spreadsprectrum system, sounds
like noise when received on a analog receiver in the wide or narrow band
mode. In other words forget about receiving it.

I know it is not legal but can a regular scanner that covers 900 mhz
listen to cordless phone conversations?
