Same here!

Far from a stupid question.  I have a Siemens 2.4 spread spectrum phone
system here.  This weekend I finally got around to looking at things on the
spectrum analyzer.

In the case of the Siemens, it looks as if both uniques periodically
interrogate each other.  I had to unplug the base unit before the frequency
hopping pulses went away.  I've got some more digging to do as I thought the
Siemens employed both a 900 MHz as well as 2.4 GHz link.  But I saw 2.4 GHz
activity from both the handset and the base unit.  I didn't take the time to
look at the 900 MHz band.

  Your mileage may vary with another brand of phone.
