That's a ham band here.

September VHF contest is coming up, a great time for cordless phones and
such, when our local contester fires up 250W in the 440 band, 902-928, 1296
and 2304.
902-928 and some part of the 2304 area is shared with licence-free and /or
ISM devices.

We have some low power alarm devices around 300-ish IIRC.

Percon has a frequency database that might help.
I agree the FCC site is a bit convoluted and hard to find useful info on.

I would have a link to http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?KC6ETE-9 here
in my signature line, but due to the inability of sysadmins at TELOCITY to
differentiate a signature line from the text of an email, I am forbidden to
have it.
