Hearing 165.9125 in NW Montana

[cjrjr507]

Hi
Can anyone tell me if there is a BATF station or possible agent in the Boundary county area of Idaho? I get comms once in a while on that freq. Mostly 10 codes so far.
BATF CH. 5 operations or BATF F-09 operations or ATF F5 Surveillance
Any help would be appreciated.

I just heard this today... sounds like it might be some border patrol operations since it is unencrypted and most of the border patrol operations are unencrypted in the area.

I am in Whitefish by the way on Big Mountain.

Were you able to copy a PL tone?

Hi Gilligan

My radio is not set up for PL tones. Needs an CTCSS board, BC890XLT scanner. old timer but works. Plan on getting a new scanner sometime.

Hi Blanton

I think that 165.9125 freq. is for BATF and not for CBP as that's what it's assigned for. But you never know. I only here it once in a while. As for encryption try 163.1250, very encrypted!
As are some other freq's I here. All you hear is a squelch noise and can drive you nutty! Ha Ha
