	2450 +/- 50 Mhz is one of the part 18 ISM channels authorised by
the FCC.  I always thought that microwave ovens operated at 2460 Mhz but
could be wrong.

	Chances are, its some industrial, scientific, or medical application
in common use wherever people are found.....

	It's also listed as "radiolocation" in part 2 of the rules, perhaps
some kind of radar...
