       According to the	April  1984  issue  of	"Monitoring  Times"
       magazine,  the  FCC  has	released 10 new	frequency pairs	for
       cordless	phones.	 The base / handset frequencies	(MHz) are:

       Ch base	  handset

	1 46.61	/ 49.67
	2 46.63	/ 49.845
	3 46.67	/ 49.86
	4 46.71	/ 49.77
	5 46.73	/ 49.875
	6 46.77	/ 49.83
	7 46.83	/ 49.89
	8 46.87	/ 49.93
	9 46.93	/ 49.99
       10 46.97	/ 49.97


       This interim ruling will	be in effect for 5  years.   Future
       allocations  will likely	be made	in other parts of the spec-
       trum.

Oh great, these frequencies are in the Fire Department Public Service
band.  I can see half the engines in the county being alerted when some
guy calls his girl friend from the back yard.
