There obviously has been a problem when making the baby monitor. I have heard the neighbours baby monitor which they seemed to leave on 24 hours a day (perhaps they were being bugged come to think of it ! ) - but that was at 14MHz - donno how this managed to transmitt so high - perhaps it was a cheap import ???

Although there is quite a funny story:

I was listening to long wave radio 4 (in the UK) as the FM signal is crap. When retuning I picked up what sounded like a conversation at 271KHz. I thought this was a new radio station so i left the dial there. This was unusual as at the time there was only one LW station available in the UK.

The signal was the neighbours cordless phone ! (not a mobile) - they work at 900 MHz+

- Keep in mind this was a regular, FM/AM radio you can buy for a tenner out of argos.

and cordless phones work at 30-40 MHz - go figure that one out.....
