Hey Lin,
Want a real eye opener??? Tune you favorite HT to this frequency
and walk around the neighborhood once.
I did this 2 years ago and I found anywheres from 1-3 to 1-5 houses
had these LaCrosse units. Boy, I surprised at the number of these
units I found. (I can turn off my outside temp sender and see 2 others
from my house.)
I almost did a piece on this for QST - Strays.
Have fun with your search.
