[Scan-DC] Mystery freqs: 459.275 + 459.525

[Joel Kahn]

Alan:

Could they be using these frequencies for thier new digital meters to transmit 
low power signals for the readers, or do they do that through the power lines?

Good detective work, Eric and Jeff. Thanks.

I noted some of those licenses granted for a range appear in FCC searches,
and others do not.  Perhaps I needed to select a range rather than an exact
freq?

What is PEPCO going to do with more analog repeaters?
