M.S.P. STOP Team tactical frequency

Anyone know the frequency for STOP team tactical operations? This was mentioned on SOPS-1 during standoff in Wesminster.

I assume it's simplex, probably UHF, and likely encrypted.

In my (limited) experience with working with the STOP team, they seem to select their frequencies based on where they are on a case by case basis.

In one instance, they actually ran on a Lowband channel because thats where they had the best reception.. The other, I believe they used one of the statewide incident Talk Groups.

It may well be one of the following:

868.9500/156.7
868.9625/156.7
868.9375/156.7

SOPS 1 is a trunked talk group which makes sense as there are trunking sites in neighboring towns of Leominster, Princeton and Ashburnham so they should have had good reception.

Some of the traffic for that incident was carried on SOPS-3, however, I believe the reference to "tactical" is to a simplex frequency.
