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.

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.
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.. OptoElectronics 1-800-327-5912
