There are 5 National 800MHz channels and most, if not all, Public Safety trunking systems have them in their radios.
866.0125 - Calling
866.5125 - TAC-1
867.0125 - TAC-2
867.5125 - TAC-3
868.0125 - TAC-4

Unfortunately, some system administrators do not enforce their use, so some municipal surveyors use some of those channels in my area - very annoying.
I thought they were strictly for Public Safety use, but maybe not.
