Thanks. I was just looking for the bands to search cuz I know it's impossible to get all their freq's plus I wanted to see if I could get any that weren't listed, So if you have the general band ranges that they use that would be much appreciated.

Mostly 162-174 and 406-420 MHz. The link by W5JSS can give you the specific frqs. for federal and military frqs.

It should also be noted,federal agents can,and sometimes do,pop up on local police frequencies, and trunked systems.Some larger communities with trunked systems even have talkgroups set aside for use by various,and even specific federal agencies.
During the 2004 G8 Summit, (Saint simons island,Sea island Georgia) several federal agencies would check in with the county dispatch center. And military police had takgroups tied in with the Glynn/Brunswick Georgia and Chathem/Savannah Georgia trunked systems. This allowed the two military command centers and 911 centers to communicate with each other directly.

Fed Bands
Depends on where you live too.
Some Freq's you will find shared across the Northern or Southern Borders.
Other regions you might hear something ONCE a month, on an obscure frequency.
Since your profile says USA, that doesn't help us much to point you in a better direction, other than SEARCH 162 - 174 Mhz at 12.5 Khz, 406-420 Mhz at 12.5 Khz and don't forget the lesser used bands [Near Mil.Bases] of 138-144 Mhz and 148-151 Mhz

Portland Fed talkgroups
I've only been to the Portland Oregon area once. I was actually staying in Vancouver Washington. I had the Portland federal government talkgroups in my Pro96. I didn't hear anything. Nor did I hear anything from the other listed federal frequencies for that area.
