Why not take a "Communicator" over to your closest Radio Shaft store and
broadcast some things from it while simultaneously using one of their
programmable scanners to search for your transmissions? You already know
the general area to search (49.8 MHz), so it should only take you a
couple seconds to find.

Once you know the frequency, ask the RS clerk if their unit will operate
at the same frequency, or if it can be modified to do so.
