BUGGING FREQUENCIES
-------------------
There has been an increase in the use for using wireless transmitters not
only by Law Enforcement Agencies but for private gain of information. Big
companies bug there competition to find out about new products and such,
husbands/wives bug each other to find out if the other is having an affair,
and so on. Wireless transmitters are not only used for these purposes you
can find them in use by your local preacher at church, or entertainers while
on stage and so forth. Put these freq's in your scanner and drive around and
see what comes up.
Federal Agencies seem to stick within there band when using wires
-----------------------------------------------------------------
162 - 174 Mhz. 406 - 420 Mhz. Federal Body Mics 169.2 - 173.4 Mhz.
40.22 is still a favorite
Bumber Beepers
--------------
Bumper Beepers are used for the tracking purposes of a car "vehicle" to keep
up with the actions of an individual. They can also be used on the person of
an agent or individual to keep track of his position..
Frequencies for Bumper Beepers
------------------------------
According to the Pop Com July 89 article, there has been an increase in the
use of Cellular Phones for the purpose of surveillance, mostly by Federal
Agencies and larger Police Depts.

I would like to thank the Medic from Las Vegas and GEnieScan for there
contributions to this file.
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.
