Okay, you've whetted my appetite.

What frequencies do these run on?  No, I don't want to try and decode
them, I just wonder what band they're on.  (900 Mhz area?  S-band microwave?)
This (radio for local loops) is one of those "obvious" things that the
FCC sat on for years, so I'm glad to see that there are finally
frequencies allocated to it.
