Trying to help, but the less information you provide the more painful it is going to be.

Other than Hotel being a common federal phonetic for the letter H, I don't understand why you posted your question in the federal forum.
Your question may have the greatest possibility of being answered if you ask it in the appropiate Regional (state) Radio Discussions Forum.

If you are near or around the canadian border (Which i assume you are) the CBP or ICE might check into a local sheriff's VHF System for inter-op,
They might need to call upon them in the event of a major emergency,
And because most, if not all CBP frequencies are full time encryption, im not totally sure what they units are, but i know that they do run a VHF P25 system that is full time encrypted, they usually stay around 165mhz,
I hope this helps

This is a great example of a question which almost answers itself once adequate information is provided. If the initial question had shared the information that "this is boarder (sic) patrol Hotel 38", the rest would have been a slam dunk.
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, Xray, Yankee, Zulu is the international phonetic alphabet.
Now if it had been the boarder patrol at Motel 6, that would have been a tougher question.

Border Patrol Vehicles
Border Patrol Vehicles are physically numbered with a letter and series of numbers. Generally on the fender in front of the doors.
The letters identify the vehicle type.
H tends to be windowless prisoners transport vans w/two compartments.
Not likely to correlate to radio identifiers but one never knows.
That area is served by Swanton Sector which has stations in Ogdensburg and Massena. So could be Agents from either of those towns just as likely. Theres a couple of leads- good luck!
Aloha,
Al

akanuaka,
Can you share where you got this information? I hear "Echo" being used, and confirmed the first letter of the P71s/Chargers around here is an "E." But, in San Antonio, we also hear "Mike" units (normally Customs lingo for a Marine Unit), but why would San Antonio deploy Marine units (or could "Mike" be a vehicle identifier as Echo and Hotel are)?

I will ask in the NY forum maybe they will know
The way they are operated in northern ny is Oscar-means Ogdensurg patrol- Mike-means Massena patrol- Whisky-means Watertown Patrol.Which is why I asked if anyone was familar with what a Hotel unit was or where they were located.Maybe it was a headquarters patrol.Thanks for all the post
