anyone else hear this frequency active in the last week or so? it is digital mode. sounds like federal protective services agency cause they do the roll call every few hours. it might be a patch of some sort- it sounds like that audio type you here when they are patching. the signal is strong i picked it up all over northern nj.

It is a new frequency (with a new NAC). Since you mentioned CW1 was broadcasted over it, I wonder if they are testing a new repeater/system by patching different agencies into it from time to time.

I've confirmed the frequency was being used by DHS HQ personnel that were in the NY area for about a week...and for testing purposes only.

By DHS HQ personnel, i assume you mean the US Department of Homeland security, which from the web shows as having these agencies below under it.

Yes, by DHS I mean the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. When they were referring to ICE units, they were referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The FPS is phasing in VHF frequencies for interoperability. 169.6 has been confirmed as an FPS VHF channel in New York. Also, ICE is now part of the NPPD.

Here, there and everywhere in WV
Fps

FPS to the best of my knowledge is not currently licensed in VHF high frequencies, only UHF low band 406-417 spread. FPS was transferred out of ICE and into NPPD as per two weeks ago. ICE themselves continue to use VHF high frequencies. With the transfer of FPS from ICE to NPPD there is a possiblility of additional VHF high band freqs added for interoperability in the future.
