Whats the current thinking on the security level of 900Mhz digital spread sectrum cordless phones? Clearly it's not a basic scanner job but how much more equipment is needed to monitor one ?
Well when you listen into a spread spectrum conversation what you will hear is open squelch white noise. The spread spectrum radios that I know about send information on several deffrent frequencies throughout the conversation.

[snip] There is a company called Optoelectronics that markets a radio reciever called the Interceptor. This is a broad band (several hundred MHz) device designed to lock on to the most powerful signal around, regardless of frequency. As supplied, it only has a rubber duck antenna, but a broadband, directional antenna (Log Periodic?) could be attached. There are AM and FM versions that output audio and a version called the Scout that controls a scanner. These could have outboard devices hung on to them to decode digital signals, record the conversation ... all for less than $1000. Floyd D.
