Rutgers Commencement - Obama Visit

ot0tot · May 12, 2016

The Rutgers Commencement is this Sunday, and President Obama is addressing the class at HighPoint Solutions stadium. There is already a lot of activity on campus (a V-22 is doing low flybys right now). Any chance there will be good listening opportunities, or will everything be encrypted? Any ideas what frequencies to monitor?

With both the Piscataway TRS being fully encrypted & all the primary RU talkgroups on the NJICS being the same, I'd suggest following what ecps92 said & possibly using 'close call' on your scanner (assuming the radio you have has that & you're close enough).

Statecom may be active also. They use it during the football games.

i live in Middlesex saw 3 v22 fly over on Thursday first time ever seeing one.

StateCom 5 is carrying a lot of traffic for this right now. Also catching traffic on StateCom 7. The units definitely sound like digital radios patched through to analog, but nothing is coming over the NJICS Hunterdon site...

Happy listening!

well did anyone hear anything good ? And what frequencies were most active ?

Sadly to say I didn't even turn a scanner on. I'm sure I would have heard the State Police stuff but I don't even think I have secret service in either. If they are in the area, aren't all the good comms encrypted?

Also make sure the Metro-New York ATF and DHS frequencies are in your radio, including DHS Aviation frequencies. It's not uncommon for an OMAHA (CBP Helo) ship to be assigned to support USMC HMX-1 Squadron (Callsign NIGHTHAWK). ATF is also very commonly deployed to support USSS sweep teams.

What are the DHS aviation frequencies ?

In addition to the Department's standard (D)Net, (D)Tac, and Common channels, try:

DHS Aviation and Marine Operations

FM:
168.8375 $293 Air 1
168.9625 $293 Air 2
169.2625 $293 Air 3
169.1625 $293 Air 4
169.3875 $293 Air 5 / Boat 2
163.4500 $293 Air 6
166.8875 Air 7
166.7875 Air 8
163.4750 Air 9
169.6375 Boat 1

AM:
120.4250 Tac 1
120.4500 Tac 2
120.4750 Tac 3
137.9000 "Company"
350.0250 Guardian Ops
136.7500 Ops
282.4250 Blue 1
308.3500 Blue 2
376.0750 Blue 4
136.3750 old air-to-air
123.0250 Helicopter common (news, MedEvac, government, etc.)

There are a handful more (in both AM and FM) that I haven't been able to confirm, but the above list from my notes should be a good starting point.
