With regard to your BB message. Domestic companies are routinely contacted where foreign travel is involved. Often times it is after the trip, but sometimes they make contact prior to a trip. They put bits and pieces together from many travelers and are able to identify a pattern throughout certain areas, learn about MO, and even identify EEI.
The item about the telephone call from the CIA is worth a response.....back east this was a common practice for firms that had international business or had applied for licenses to do business overseas or had shown some type of interest. They will normally come out and spend a few hours just talking and trying to understand the business and its goals. It should be expected to be a long term relationship which can be fruitful..
I don't thi8nk I posted this yet, but if I did, it may be worth checking out .

Does anyone have any info on 900 MHz spread spectrum Baby Monitors? Seems to me someone (Doug) recently passed some info on regarding them. Are they commercially available here in the states and where?

Brad W. (here in the Phoenix area) give me a call (786-0909); I can't find your address or telephone number.
Wireless microphones.
I recently performed a pre conference survey at a resort area and during the course of the physical examination (while the OSCOR was running), the Scout (near field frequency counter/detector) alerted and automatically tuned the ICOM R-10 scanner to the frequency of commercial wireless microphones (4 ea) which were to be used in the Q & A sessions.
The frequencies of the four units were in the 780 MHz range and were rated at 20mw (according to the audio/video technician). I removed the jumper between the R-10 and Scout and performed a walk test to see how far away the room audio could be detected. When I was stopped by the parking lot fence (at least 150 meters away, I was still looking at a full scale bar graph reading on the R-10's meter. Across the street and on the side of the facility were residences and additional parking lots where someone could have set up an LP.
The next day, during the course of an examination during the afternoon session, I picked up emenations from another room in which the client was using yet another system they had obtained from the conference facility. It had just as great a range and operated in the 600 MHz range.
Folks, those little things are dangerous. To see how dangerous, keep reading.
I was recently contacted and informed that security had located a transmitting device installed in the office of the president. I was asked to respond (after the fact) and perform a sweep/evaluate the device.
Nothing else was found.
The device found was obtained at a popular electronics store and was a three channel wireless microphone operating in the frequency range of 170 MHz. Later, it was activated with a battery which had been in operation for approximately 14 hours and a walk test was performed. Ther signal was determined with the SAcout (which automatically tuned the R-10) and I proceeded to walk across the parking lot. When i reached the fence at the most distant point, I was approximately 200 meters away and had a full scale bar graph reading on the R-10's meter.
I proceeded to walk the perimeter of the property and the bar graph indication fluctuated only once and that was when an area of construction was passed which was between me and the location of the transmitter. I entered the building through a different entrance and the signal was lost completely only when the elevator shaft was between me and the transmitter. I could even receive the signal in the basement of the building (one floor down and about 150 to 200 feet away.
Like I said, they're dangerous folks.
