?? 925.8100 Mhz ??
 

Hello,

I was doing a search with my VR-500 and caught this frequency while I was
sitting at home. I hear room sounds, and conversations etc. My first thought
was a cordless phone left off the hook, but this is day 4 now. At one point
I heard a door-chime and a door open, and then a lady said "thanks, have a
good day". I'm thinking it's coming from one of the small shops in my
neighborhood though I hear conversations and TV or radio 24/7. The signal is
pretty strong according to the signal strength meter.

Any ideas as to what devices might use this frequency? I did do a search on
Google and came up dry.

X-10 Wireless video/audio system? Pop some headphones on. Put the scanner
in your jacket with the smallest 900 antenna you can and walk around the
shops till you find it.

I followed some of the advice here and came up with this.....

The signal pegs out the S-meter even inside my house so I removed the
antenna and walked up and down the street in front of the shops until I got
a little bit of signal in front of one. So I took down the number and went
home and called it, sure enough. I did hear the phone ring over the scanner,
so I now know where it is coming from. I went back to the shop and went
inside to poke around (minus the conspicuous radio) and I didn't see any
type of device that is out in the open. Things are spread out all over the
place without and sort of organization, so it was easy to look anywhere
without looking suspicious. It's a place that used to sell herbal remedies
but has since become a sundries type place selling fairy figurines, books on
meditation and Zen, new-age type of stuff etc.

It is still a mystery as to why...there is an apartment upstairs so maybe
the owner lives there and monitors the store? I hear conversations,
television (after hours, there's no TV in the store) etc..all hours, equally
clear even when the store is closed. I hope I didn't run across some
surveillance operation. The store is run by an older woman in her early to
mid 50's, so that seems unlikely.

Anyhow, I think I'll just keep my nose out of it and just keep wondering.

Thank you all for your tips and advice, this was the most intriguing thing
I've done with a scanner/radio in a long time.

Now that you have ascertained the source, why not just call them up and ask
them? They would probably appreciate knowing that the neighborhood can hear
them, they are probably not aware. And, if it turns out to be a surveillance
operation, you may have an opportunity to own your own bugging device. It would
bring good money on E-Bay. Finders keepers. Companies that vend those devices
to law-enforcement such as Westinghouse/AID in Ft. Lauderdale Florida usually
start around $1,000.00.

I'm keeping my nose out of it from here on out. Actually it is too boring to
listen to for me, and if someone else wants to step up and appear the
neighborhood snoop and freak they may be my guest.

$1,000.00? For a baby monitor? J/K
