On another thread OkeeDon has mentioned that he were amazed how easy it was to monitor peoples cell phone conversations.
Bob then responded, correctly IMHO, to say that was possible because the cell phone that they were using was most likely Analog instead of Digital.
Good thing that most cell phones theses days are moving to Digital technology like GSM.
However, its too bad this is not occuring in the Cordless home phone market.
I just wanted to share with you how hard it was to find a truelly digital spread spectrum CORDLESS phone for my home telephone line which did not interfer with Wireless LAN Technology and had good performance. Phones can be found which are truelly digitial but you have to look really hard and pay close to $100 or more to do so.
The other delima is that higher frequency tend to have lower range, I don't care what the marketer of high frequency phone says. All the choice frequencies are all in the lower range. Higher frequency = less range.
I have tried lots of expensive NEW digital spread spectum cordless phones in the 5.8 Ghz range and have not found a single one that I like. The most common problem I saw was that I could hear other people just fine but they had a hard time hearing me and the range of the phone was very limited when I went outside.
So what I have been doing lately is buying refurbished 900 Mhz Uniden Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless phones around the house. Just wanted to share this time with you. I have found that they can be found on line for around $20.
