+Touchstone Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'm not exactly sure, but a recent post from the Cache Owner may give you some clues on the direction they are headed: Cryptic Post #227 Good luck! Quote Link to comment
+pppingme Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Sweet, I like it. Step1-I'm curious how its implemented, I didn't think any constant or automated activities were allowed on these "hertz". This might be the toughest for some cachers, as these "hertz" really aren't that well known, but the equipment based on them is. Step2-This could be a couple different things, but as stated before, the CO seems to give a hint to which in another post, so I've got a good idea. Step4-Oh wow, everyone should get this one. I was thinking of doing a cache based on this step alone, with a "helper" based on step1 if I happen to be around. If I'm getting the gist and I'm right, none of this would be proprietary equipment, and most likely almost every cacher probably already owns what they need. Too bad its 560 miles away from me.

+JohnnyVegas Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 You are going to need a radio scanner that operates in the UHF spectrum. The frequency range is out of the ham radio portion of the band. It may be an FRS frequency but those I do not have memorized. It it is in the FRS sapetrum then I would think an FRS radio would work.

+JohnnyVegas Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I did some research, those are GRMS radio frequencies. many of the FRS radio include GRMS channels Quote Link to comment

(or is that terrain?) Quote Link to comment
+Ecylram Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 VERY cool multi-cache! I figured out the three devices, I'll have to make some time to run up to Longmont for this one. Thanks for pointing it out. Quote Link to comment
+KC8JZK Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Step 3 is 802.11 which is what wireless lans operate on. So it looks like you might need a laptop with wireless or a smartphone that does wireless EDIT Typo Edited October 23, 2010 by KC8JZK Quote Link to comment

+vds Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 there is a new cache not to far from but i cant figure out what i need to find this type of cache GC2G604 Try about two minutes searching on Google and it will be pretty obvious. The cache owner used wording that is pretty easy to find out what the matching gear is. If you're any kind of an experienced cacher you have them all. If you don't, you almost certainly know somebody who does. Quote Link to comment
+DonB Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 there is a new cache not to far from but i cant figure out what i need to find this type of cache GC2G604 The 462,XXX,XXX and 467,XXX,XXX frequencies I think would be a standard police scanner. The 2,XXX,XXX,XXX frequencies are what I believe the older cordless phones operated on, and the 87,500,000 to 107,900,000 sounds like FM radio. Quote Link to comment
