FEDERAL AGENCY - UserID's/RadioID's on P25 Conventional channel List

Since we are covering the Federal Agency NAC's in the other thread topic.
Start logging to build some type of form of National Federal RadioID's/UserID's Numbering Scheme for used in each State/Area.

Example of UserID's
i12345 - FBI
i54321 - ATF
i12345 - Border Patrol
etc....
i12345 - Border Patrol (California) Give a state name where the UserID was heard.

Don't need much details for each ID. Just the basic to start the list. :D

Note: Lets keep this topic for P25 Conventional only. Not talk about P25/Motorola Trunked system RadioID's!

396XT & 996XT Support for P25 Conventional channels that include NAC and TGID's/UserID's user differentiation (P25 One-Frequency Trunk)

Using the Unit ID Feature With the November,2009 or later Uniden XT firmware

Detailed instructions on how to do it on this post #40.

Unit ID's (UIDs or RIDs): Posting Guidelines

Note: GRE PSR500/600 RadioShack106/197 versions etc... Doesn't do RadioID's/UserID's on P25 Conventional channels.
Note: other equipment (Motorola and ICOM PCR-2500,etc) Does decode the RadioID's/UserID's)
If you need to find out if your scanner does RadioID's/UserID's decoding.
Look in Scanners and Receivers Forums or on the Scanner Model on the Wiki page.

Please keep this on topic to Federal UserID's/RadioID's list logging's. ]]> Federal Monitoring Forum MtnBiker2005 http://forums.radioreference.com/federal-monitoring-forum/164910-federal-agency-userids-p25-conventional-channel-list.html http://forums.radioreference.com/federal-monitoring-forum/164507-federal-uhf-band-plan.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:07:22 GMT Does anybody here have a link to the federal UHF band plan from 406 to 420 mHz?

Does anybody here have a link to the federal UHF band plan from 406 to 420 mHz? I seem to recall a site a while back that talked about it being divided into three sections. The lower part 406 to something being repeater outputs, the middle being simplex, and the upper part repeater inputs. I also seem to recall that the standard plan having inputs exactly 9 or 11 mHz higher perhaps. It seems like it was an NTIA Red Book

I think this is it. I am curious if most people here have found federal agencies to be in compliance with this now. Thus any legitimate federal activity above 415.100 mHz is a repeater input.

The FCC can receive complaints online, but the IRAC website shows no online contact paths. Nor does the site say anything about reporting interference.

The situation I wish to report is actually interference between DOD-related frequencies. The Watervliet Arsenal in NY state has a 4-channel conventional P25 repeater system in the 385 MHz range. Whenever they transmit, digital buzzing can be heard on several UHF milair frequencies.

I am several miles away from the Arsenal, so it's not overload. It happens on numerous different scanners, with and without attenuation. With a digital scanner, I can recover the voice and NAC from whatever frequency I hear the signal on.

So, how do I tell the feds that two of their services are interfering with each other? I'm pretty sure any pilots who hear the interference would have no way of identifying its source. ]]> Federal Monitoring Forum DaveNF2G http://forums.radioreference.com/federal-monitoring-forum/164463-reporting-interference.html http://forums.radioreference.com/federal-monitoring-forum/164132-vice-president-biden-town.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:20:01 GMT O.k so the Vice president is in Tacoma to speak at Ft Lewis.

I'm assuming these are links between repeaters for operations in the 162-174 Fed band?

Pulling data from the Database to Wiki using Wiki Extensions.

To give a better overview of the agency's data in the United States / Territories and Outlying Areas.

It will help other federal scanner enthusiasts without needing to open each county/state federal pages in the browser.

Some stuff couldn't be added. Since it's mixed in with other agency's frequencies on the database, or it was not in it's own "Sub-Category" for that agency.

The title above each data table will include the link to that "State"/"County"/"City" page where it came from.

Vice Admiral Robert J. Papp noted that next year (2010) the Coast Guard would be using scrambled communications during its training exercises, which would have prevented the radio interception. ]]> Federal Monitoring Forum Squad10 http://forums.radioreference.com/federal-monitoring-forum/163015-cg-2010-training-comm-will-scrambled.html
