I'm going to the Red Skin's/Dolphin's game on Saturday.  I want to know if
anyone knows of any good freqs to listen for.  For instance, the
headphones that the coaches use to talk to the QB's sound like they'd be
interesting.

I have a counter, so I really just need someone to point me in the right
direction.  

Also, if anyone knows any good freq's for Joe Robbie Stadium, I'd love
those too.  Thanks a lot for all your help!!!!

I read somewhere that the transmissions from the coaches to the
Quarterback are encrypted.

try standard business band frequencies 464.0-465.0 you'll probably find
something there!! : ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

I watched a piece on "Beyond 2000" where they featured the helmet mike
systems used in the NFL.  I believe that they said that not only are they
encrypted, but the that the freq and encryption method randomly change.
With the money involved in football, you can see why they would feel the
need to go to such lengths.

NFL Helmet Radios use an encryption system that has over 6 million
possible combinations. Monitoring them on any scanner would be impossible,
so don't bother trying. Stick to listening to the team/stadium freqs, and
Official's wireless mics.

NOT TRUE!

  This situation begs for the serices of a hacker! Comeon folks, somebody
out  here has a good idea of how to bust it.. HELL even the Publick key
which supports over 4 billion keys is hacked every day...

What about communications between the sidelines and the press box?

I'm taking my Pro-43 to Busch Stadium in St. Louis next week, to see what
I can pull in during the Rams-Saints game.

Any hints regarding the best frequencies to scan during that game. I suspect
that variance in these frequencies is scant from stadium to stadium.

Do you have any evidence that the public key has been hacked? I think
not.

It HAS been written up on SEVERAL occasions that the algorythms used to
create public key encryption would take some gazillion years to break with
modern technology. That was written in 1986! In 1986 we were playing with
12mhz 286's !!! It has also been reploted reciently that there are ways to
break the public keys.. Try looking at the modern anarchist type publications
available at small bookstores...

I still think public key is the safest, all I am saying is I bet some 15
year old kid is working on a hack, and it will be worth big $$$ when it
is published, if the feds let it ;)

 You might want to consider that anything you can hear on a scanner, anyone
 else with a scanner can hear.
 Any comms that a team doesn't want the opposing team to hear will NOT be put
 out unscrambled over the air.
 Most comms between the bench and spotters is hard-wired for that reason.
 However, listening to the TV crews can be a hoot at times!

I apologize for joining late, but you would perchance be able to point me
in the right direction so I could find those frequencies?

Thanks,

Just as an aside, during the St. Louis/Green Bay game, the St. Louis bench
personnel were using cordless headsets, so you might be able to catch
something.
