We are based in the 508 area code. If you would like to become a part of this, or a writer.... send Email to the address listed at the very bottom of this 'zine. Also send questions & comments. Try not to be too harsh.. as this is our first issue. (& possibly the last, based on feedback). Now, on to the technical mumbo jumbo..... DISCLAIMER!: None of this information is to be used for the following purposes what so ever! › Fraudulent Fone calls › Illegal listening. This includes EVERY illegal possibility of this text. We do not condone, or recommend this behavior. Remember that fraud is a federal crime. We WILL NOT be held responcible for YOUR actions! Enjoy...... --------------------------------------------------------------------- ----=+!* General Radio Telefone *!+=---- By -(Harvester Of Souls)- This article is about the Motorola Micro Tac flip fones. Sometimes called the "Hacker's Fone". This may vary from fone to fone. Here are the basics you need to know to begin. To look at the system ID, fone #, & station class marks and much more, do the following. 1) Turn power ON. 2) Immediately press FCN, 0. 3) Type the Security Code Twice. (Factory standard is 000000). 4) Scroll through the options with the * key. 5) Only make changes that are accurate! ----------------------------------------------------- To put the fone into test mode do the following: Disconnect any & all power from the fone. There will be 3 contact leads on the back of the fone. Short the middle pin to ground. The ground is usually the contact lead to the right of it. (Test with a DMM to be sure). DMM - Digital Multi Meter. When you apply power, you will find that the screen is flashing hexidecimal numbers. Press the # key. The display should show US ' If it just shows a ' and not us ' don't worry. From either of those points you may type in commands to the fone. To listen in on a convo: Type 11xxx, # xxx = Channel number. OR 11xxxx - May not be in use, who knows what its for. NOTE: This is illegal & I dont recommend this since they have triangulation methods. You have been warned! The channels that I have listen to are anywhere from 112 to 999. I belive the fone will go up to channel 9999. You may not be able to do anything, but I personally think that it has the capabilities to do so. I found that the most popular channels around the suburban Boston area and up to Boston also are these: 112 298 299 300 301 999 This may not be true for all areas. Just scan the channels & see what you find. ---=+ Programming mode: After popping the fone into test mode, Press 55#. Then there are multiple options, but I don't recommend changing anything without a chart of what they do. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ ----------=+!* General Telephone Electronics *!+=---------- By -(Harvester OF Souls)- This is for a telefone-to-recorder. NOTE: Listening in is illegal unless authorized by at least one party on the fone line. Equipment: Soldier iron, solder, electrical tape or heat shrink. Needs: Double Female MOD Plug adapter, 1 LED, (1) 3 Lead switch, 1 Stereo plug. Instructions: Open up the double mod plug & cut the YELLOW & BLACK wires in the CENTER. If there isn't a yellow wire, cut the white. Twist the two wires together on each end & solder them together. now tape up the exposed wires with electrical tape, or use heat shrink. Cut the RED & GREEN wires directly in the center. Solder 1 red lead of the wire to 1 lead on the switch. on the lead furthest away from the red, solder one lead of the LED on it. Take the stereo plug & solder 1 lead to the lead on the LED that is left. Now solder the second pole of the stereo plug to the green wire. USAGE: When the switch is flipped, & the plug is attached, the LED will light up. That means that it is in use. (Recording or listening). When the plug is in and the LED is OFF, then the device is off. Plug it into a recorder & next time someone is on the phone, hit record & flip the switch. It may be helpfull to have an audio pre-amp or amplifier. Happy listening! :) _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ ----------=+!* Radio Frequency (RF) *!+=---------- By -(Harvester Of Souls)- Major 2 Way Radio Bands ----------------------- Medium Frequency (mf) 1.6 - 25 MHz High Frequency (hf) 25- 30 MHz Very High Frequency (vhf1) 108 - 136 MHz Very High Frequency (vhf2) 150 - 174 MHz Ultrahigh Frequency (uhf1) 450 - 512 MHz Ultrahigh Frequency (uhf2) 806 - 821 MHz Ultrahigh Frequency (uhf3) 851 - 866 MHz ---------------------- HF Intership Frequencies Frequency (kHz) Geographic Area ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 2003 Great Lakes only. 2082.5 All areas. 2142 Pacific coast area south of lattitude 42° (degrees) north, on a day only basis. 2203 Gulf of Mexico. 2638 All areas. 2670 All areas. 2738 All areas except Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. 2830 Gulf of Mexico only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VHF - FM Channel Designation Channel Type ------- ---- 16 (mandatory) Distress, Saftey, calling. 06 (mandatory) Intership Safety. 65, 66, 12, 73, 14, 74, 20 Port Operations 13 Navigational 22 Liaison Communications only. 07, -9, 10, 11, 18, 19, 79, 80 Commercial 67, 08, 77 , 88 Commercial - Intership 70, 72 Non - Commercial 24, 84, 25, 85, 26, 86, 27, 87, 28, 88 Public Correspondence. 162.4MHz & 162.55MHz NOAA Weather Service. ---------------------------------------------- Citizen's Band Radio (CB) Note: All frequencies are in AM (Amplitude Modulation). Channels marked with an 'a' are illegal channels that can be used with a simple CB modification to the RF tuner. NOTE: A Channels are illegal! And so are the channels abouve 40 & below 1. Forget about modifying the radio for extra channels (Not necessarily A channels) unless the tranceiver has a PLL02A chip. Unless of course you want to add a modification radio board, or a bunch of crystals for a crystal modification. I have seen an LED mod with the PLL02A that tells you what channel you are on. The kits are available illegaly. But I believe it only gets up to channel 104. And maybe down to 30 or 50 -1 including A channels. Enjoy....

Also, this is highly illegal. I do not recommend you ripping off any telcos. > You can buy a Telephone Pickup at just about any good electronics store. It should be in the fone section. The telefone pickup is a little suction cup with a microphone behind it. You cannot see the mic on most of them. With this mic, an amplifier, and tape recorder you can record / play sounds to a telefone. What you need to do first is build an amplifier. (Or take one out of something!). Plug the mic into the amp, then the amp into the tape recorder MIC jack. Stick the mic to the earpiece on the telefone. Cover up the microphone on the phone so that no unwanted noise interrupts. While your inserting coins, make sure that the tape is recording. Insert AT LEAST 5$ in there, for it to be worth your time. After you recorded & put the change in, get your change back. To use the tones: With the mic plugged into the amplifier, & the amp pluged into the EARPHONE jack, place the mic on the fones microphone. Play the tones to the phone, then complete your call. Try this with a fone in your house, with an amplifier plugged into the pickup & a recorder. I have heard stories that a certain pickup can detect & record audio through a fone that is on the hook. As for the payfone, this may or may not work with a laptop, I think that still is waiting to be discovered. But... just think of how handy it would be! ====----====----====----====----====----====----====----====----==== ©copyright 1998 Sparkly Blue -=+!* Sparkly Blue *!+=- I take NO responcibilty for the information contained within.
