Someone posted a little while ago the ten frequencies assigned to cordless phones. I thought that I saved that article but I apparently failed to do so. Could that person repost those frequencies again? Mucho appreciated. What are the optimal channels for cordless phones? I just bought an AT&T 5200 cordless phone which uses channels seven and nine. When using channel seven I get an occasional buzzing hum but I do not get that hum when using channel nine. I first thought the cause was our Fisher Price baby monitor which uses channels A and D (I have no idea what the correlation of A and D have to the ten channels that the FCC allocates). The buzzing hum occurs for channel seven regardless if the baby monitor is set to channel A or D or if the baby monitor is turned off. This eliminates our baby monitor as the cause or so it seems. This leads to some questions: 1. Does anyone have a good explanation to why channel seven may be experiencing that buzzing hum? 2. Are there some of the ten channels that can be considered more optimal than others? The Phone Center that I went to only offered phones that consisted of either the channels seven and nine combination or the channels six and eight combination. Not much of a choice. I still would like to know because I can always go to another Phone Center store. 3. Does anyone know what frequency channels A and D use for the Fisher Price monitors? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. John Hoekstra Motorola, Inc. General Systems Group uunet!motcid!hoekstra
