I have not searched for the frequency that ADT uses with a suitable spectrum
analyzer. I would guess it is using one of the part 15 bands - however
without measurements I do not know for sure.

What frequency(ies) are these wireless secirity systems operating in - 434,
390, 902, 2400 MHz?  And how are the sensors powered, via coin cells?

Since I operate 440 and 900 repeaters at my house as well as user radios,
I'm interested prior to installing. The wireless grill thermometer on 434
MHz and the remote outdoor temp sensor for the WX station roll over dead
when the UHF repeater (at 5w) comes up and it plays about 9 hours a day. 

tnx
Mike
