THE FREQUENCY ALLOCATION OVERVIEW OF KIDS AND TEEN SCOUT RADIO COMMUNICATIONS


1st Band for Kids and Teens Scouts - AM Broadcast Band -
The AM broadcast band is very accessable for part 15 broadcasts and kids and impersonators use this band from 510 kHz to 1720 kHz to transmit special
messeges to other AM radios and walkmans. There are kits and toys made for
this region under part 15 FCC regulations. Reminder a long wire antenna
with ground or a tunable AM loop antenna would be great for intercepting
these weak signals.

2nd Band For Kids and Teen Scouts - They are on shortwave, and since you have a shortwave some kids and most teens do special broadcasts on the pirate radio frequencies. The only thing you need is a good wire antenna and a full coverage shortwave radio with 1.711 to 30 MHz and SSB (LSB/USB) or a ham radio transciver with RX
only coverage. Heres the link

3rd Band for Kids and Teen Scouts - CB Radio Band -
First is to try the simplist things, monitor the CB bands. The CB bands are available for any goof radio user or one that cannot get an FCC license. Some rigs, but most kids
and teens do not have SSB, but its best that you have it available. CB has been around
and many people do use it anyway possible. To hear CB you would need a shortwave radio that tunes up to 29.999 MHz or 28 MHz or a CB transceiver in the AM mode.

4th Band for Kids to Teen Scouts - 49 MHz Radio - There have been toys and even
kits that are made for this region of the frequency bands that uses 2 way communications
that are found in the AM modes.

Channel X - 49.405 MHz - Duplex Frequency - Used for a/b conversations
Channel A - 49.830 MHz - Ch 1 -
Channel B - 49.845 MHz - Ch 2 -
Channel C - 49.860 MHz - Ch 3 - Popular Channel to be used and programmed
Channel D - 49.875 MHz - Ch 4 -
Channel E - 49.890 MHz - Ch 5 -

5th Band for Kids and Teen Scouts - FM Broadcast Band - Most kids want to start their
special forces radio station and play CD's and mp3's and do special low power FM
broadcasts and also give out code messeges or names. The FM broadcast band
is one way to hear that special broadcast. You would need a DX FM receiver and a
outdoor yagi or FM dipole antenna to listen in. 87.5 to 108.0 MHz.

6th Band for Kids and Teen Scouts - FRS Radio - FRS has been released around 2001 and was very popular since then. The radios are so cheap and affordable that kids want to have them. Most 49 MHz users have put their old rigs away and moved in this region
of the spectrum. Some FRS radios now have privacy features, still you can use a RDF
finder for to find where the signal is coming from. You can easily hear most of them
on a scanner in NFM mode. Best thing to do is get a ground plane antenna to mount
it outside your backyard at the end of the shed area cause some kids like to hide around the fencing to transmit.

7th Band for Kids and Teen Scouts - The 900 MHz Band - This band is good for
finding WFM devices such as wireless transmitters that play special radio station
programming beamed to a remote AM or FM or 49 MHz transmitter. Also
there are some amateur TV signals here as well.

8th Band for Kids and Teen Scouts - 2.4 GHz - This band has alot of digital signals
even your WiFi you can wardrive their WiFi signals, or you can listen in on their
2.4 GHz analog remote transmitter link signals to that weak FM or AM station.

9th Band for Kids and Teen Scouts - 5.8 GHz - This band has the wireless N
networks that rich kids and teen scouts have and even some transmitters that
are analog only and TV, which is very rare.

10th Band for Kids and Teen Scouts - Lightwave and Inferred Communications -
There are numerous projects out there for kids and teens to come up that uses
lightwave, laser, and inferred circuits. Google lightwave, inferred, and laser
communications.

Others -

Some kids and teen scouts use Ham Radio, but if they did the other hams would catch
them anyways to talk to their parents. Police impersonators are very easy to listen to
if you have the right tools and antennas.

Other places to try out is the :

LW Band - 144 kHz to 279 kHz - The LW band is a another way to hear radio stations
in the 153 kHz to 279 kHz part 15 range for Europe, Asia, North Africa and 160 kHz to 190 kHz part 15 range for the United States. Whoever is smart and knows the long wave band to put special transmitters there can use it and you the listen has to listen to it. Loop
antenna required or long wire antenna. Some can send special navigational beacons
in the 160 kHz to 190 kHz under part 15 rules.

72 MHz Band - 72.1 to 72.9 MHz - The 72 MHz band is a headphone frequency and
also a good remote transmitter repeater source for AM and FM mono transmitters.
Some kids and teens can use a headphone transmitter connect a ipod and send
the signal to a portable TV audio radio to a remote AM or FM transmitter. To get
the signal somewhere else in a convienent listeners locator or combat zone.

These bands however are more for the advanced kids and teen troops that have it all
and they have their own broadcast engineers to work on them.

Radio Hobbyists and Casual to Advanced Users.
