Q. I'm talking about baby monitor. Is it the same as a cordless phone range? Is it better than 49 MHz (as it's much higher frequency)?
Thanks for the answers. So you both says it doesn't matter on the difference as long as it's used in a house.
I was confused as some retailer shows the frequency but not the distance. While another shows the distance but no frequency (e.g. 49 MHz or 900 MHz. And another shows 120 m or 400')
Could anybody suggest which one is better to choose from? (based on the frequency or the distance)

A. Higher frequencies are more easily blocked, so lower frequency ones will probably have a better range. Both should work inside your house.
It depends more on the power output than on the frequency.
There may be less interference and noise with the 900Mhz one

Where can I find a baby monitor that won't interfere with wireless routers?
Q. My boyfriend's appartment building if full of wireless routers, and thats where we plan to raise our baby for a while. But we need a baby monitor that won't be affected by all the wireless routers. But everywhere I look it seems that every baby monitor that I seem interested in will be affected by a wireless router. I've already looked at Wal-Mart, Babies R' 'Us, Ebay, and Best Buy seems to not even carry baby monitors. Where Can I find a baby monitor that won't be affected by wireless routers?
A. Look for one that operates in the 900 Mhz or the 5.4 GHz frequency range.
Anything that is not 2.4 GHz should work.

If you need 2 baby monitors, do they need to be the same brand?
Q. I have a son who will be 2 yrs 9 mos when my second is born in October. We generally stay pretty close to his room but he is on the second floor and we have a finished basement with a tv, so I feel like we still need a monitor for his room when we are on other floors. We have a fisher price sound and light monitor we got handed down from my brother in law which besides ocassional static works really well. of course its got to be almost 7 years old and I can't get one like it. I saw a good deal on a basic graco one that was highly rated. Would the 2 interfere or do you have to use the same brand?
On a related note, when did you stop using a monitor for older kids? My husband suggested we wouldn't need one but my son cannot open the bedroom door, we shut it at night because we don't want our cats in there, plus we have a lot of steps in our house, so i'd rather be able to hear him because its harder for him to come to us. I know people with school aged kids who still use one.
OK, since the first answerer clearly didn't read this-my son is 2 years 3 months so he doens't use the toilet, if he did he could call us and we'd come get him-thats why we have a monitor! we shut the door because we have cats and they would come in his room and wake him at night if we didn't-also our house is not so small we can hear him everywhere and he is still learning to navigate steps. Sheesh.

A. No they don't ... however, if they are both analog you they may encounter interference from each other.
1. Use one analog and one digital
2. Use an analog one of a different frequency --- ie: if you have a 900 MHz monitor, buy a 49 MHz one and vice versa.
3. You can also purchase one of the same frequency (esp 900 MHz because these have MANY channels) and see if you encounter interference --- most likely you will not. But it is possible.
I'm not sure what the two monitor's frequencies are --- so you will have to investigate. My suggestion is to buy a digital one as your second one. I have this digital one (reasonable price) and have always been happy with it.

Anyone have any Phone frequiencies for programmable Scanners ??
Q.
A. it is illeagal to listen to or record a telephone conversation that you are not part of...
with that said.. there are 25 channels for the 1st gen cordless phones, but not many people use them any longer, they are around 40-50 mhz....
900 mhz phones operate around 900 to aprox 925 mhz... there are many brands, with variations to the channeling of the phones.... so you will have to scan that area...
most "newer" 900 mhz phones have DSS so you will not hear anything but a scrambled digital signal (which you can not unscramble)
2.4ghz, 5.8 ghz phones operate outside the range which most radio scanners operate, but are also digital and encrypted, so even if you could recieve the signal, you wouldnt be able to do anything about it...
your scanner may be able to scan the 1.9ghz range for DECT phones, but again they will be digital, and scrambled...
baby monitors are another thing that you can scan for... people forget they are on sometimes...
most people arent talking about anything intresting on the phone anyhow.. it can be boring to listen to someone elses conversation...
phonelosers.org has a list of intresting scanner frequencies..
EDIT:
cell phones arent able to be picked up.. the old anolouge phones were in the 800 mhz range, but all scanners sold today have the cellular range blocked out..
many people would love to scan the nextel walkie talkies, but they also are unscannable... at least for now...
