I would like to thank the Medic from Las Vegas and GEnieScan for there contributions to this file. 92 Update Credits: I would like to thank Bob Parnass, AJ9S of AT&T Bell Lab's 708-979-5414 for his great accomplishment of listing specific Comtek & Telex Channels & known hits. Police and Govt. Agencies can use just about any frequency for Surveillance purposes, please remember not to limit your scanning to the freq's listed above.. Police/Govt. Agencies can use any frequency under 2 watts without even notifying the FCC. They can also use any freq. assigned to there State, including State/Local Govt. Freq's, Business Freq's, etc.. A few ideas: Drive around with these freqs in your scanner, bugs use low wattage so you will have to be pretty close to monitor. Another idea is the next time a concert comes to town, get as close as you can to the arena and search through these bands, this could also be done at stage shows, etc. Let me know how ya do. You should also purchase an OptoElectronics Frequency Counter, there are many models to pick from, these units can actually pickup these Mic's if you are close enough..
