I recently read a listing of some of the communications going on in the range of 700 to 800 Mhz, and that seems like it may be an interesting band to scan now. So I am thinking that since it was a TV band before, that perhaps the same hardware, pulled out of older VCRs, should be able to receive those signals and convert them down to the 44 to 48Mhz band, which is the video IF frequency band for those receivers. THEN it should be a simple matter to tune them in with a scanner receiver that covers that band very well. It seems like it could be an interesting project. Has anybody tried anything like that? I would like to know what they found.
