Bud,
    I'm not sure I understand. I thought the cell phones 
used two freqs simultainiously to trans to the tower and 
receive from the tower called a channel which is assigned by 
the tower(system). Thus a stationary cell phone user could 
be monitored by a scanner if it jumped back and forth 
between the t/r freqs of that channel.  Do I have this all 
wrong?  If you listen to the cell and receive either the t 
or r side of the conversation I would think you'd get 
feedback unless the cell phone t didn't contain the 
conmposite signal. Is that how they do it?
I understand the tower hand off system (that requires yet 
another freq)
