Carrier current refers to any modulated signal that is above the 50 or 60 Hz power-line frequency, but below the AM broadcast band. However, there is a bit of a wrinkle here because if a VHF transmitter uses the power-line as part of an antenna then technically it could be considered a carrier current system even though the operational frequency if much higher.

From a general technical definition a "carrier current" signal is one which is DESIGNED to confine a MODULATED signal between the power line frequency and the low end of the broadcast band, AND with one of the design goals being that the signal travels down the untuned power lines, phone lines, etc. The goal is to introduce the signal into an untuned conductor, as opposed to a tuned antenna. The power-line is used as a signal path, and not a transducer or antenna to radiate the signal into free space.

From a practical perspective the area between 30 kHz and 400 kHz has historically been used for CC bugging devices, but never confine you search to just that frequency range. Instead search the power lines, CATV, phone and other wiring for all signals/any signals for base-band (un-modulated) audio or video, and modulated audio, video, or telemetry from 9 kHz to at least 200 MHz.

thanks Dan, I knew those buggers would be hard to squash.
Any idea where you would get the freq's?

vlf and very little signal is radiated into free space,and yes the radio shack devices are often removed from there cases and built in to innocuous objects.

ok.  now I'm confused.  carrier-current bugs use the AC line to 'transmit the signal.
does this equipment receive EMF signal radiated from the AC wire?
 
What frequencies are most of these bugs at?  Do they have channels like 2.4 Ghz cameras?
 
Does not the Radio Shack X-10 system controllers work on this technology?
 
Let me say this first....or last, aint looking for gov or law enforcement bugs.
 
Thanks again and Merry Christmas...
