I am definitely not a communications specialist, but I'll give these
a once over...

>Is that information publically available?  

Well, if you find yourself in Houston, you can pick up
both CAPCOM and NASA-Select Audio around the 170ish Mhz range.
Other NASA-villes may have similar set-ups. The Public Affairs
Office has never arrested anyone for asking questions. 

>Are the transmissions scrambled?

I think the Flight Surgeon's Channel is scrambled for crew
personal privacy. I guess so you won't hear:

'Hey Doc, Where's the Immodium AD ?!?!?!?!?!?'

Also, I'm sure they'll scramble the 'juicy' audio from
the upcoming DOD flight; although, the 'phone' of choice
will probably be the relatively new laser communications
system.

>Can someone post the frequencies?

I think UHF and C-Band are the utilized bands during dynamic
flight phases. It's just a guess, but they probably use the
military band (~300-400 Mhz ?)

I have heard CAPCOM on NASA Select say:

"Atlantis, Houston. COM check, UHF only"


...just my two cents...
