163.375

[signal500]

While searching I found what appears to be a new NAC code on a P25 repeater that I had previously reported on 10-22-10. The repeater is 163.375 but with a new NAC of A0A located in northwest Florida between Destin and Panama City. It is 100% ENC. Back in 2010, the NAC was 222. The repeater had gone silent for at least a year and only recently came back online with a different NAC.

Is there anyone else hearing any activity on this frequency that might help ID it?

re:

agencies that use encryption that have used that frequency in the past are: department of energy, ins, nuclear regulator commission, coast guard

In Kansas it belongs to the USAF 190th Security Forces at Forbes Field. Usually ENC about 95% of the time. Can't recall the NAC.

USAF Air Station in New Bedford NH uses 222 as NAC, different freq though.

I have been searching 400-440 and 160-174 for about 8 months found nothing expect Tyndall Airforce Base. I can try the freq and see what it picks up.

Well after a little investigation, I have found that this is coming from USAF Eglin AFB. Without an antenna on my scanner I received it full scale while I was sitting near the gate. It is the repeater output. I haven't found the input frequency. It is interesting that they would also use a VHF P25 repeater for some sort of operation because of the 380 MHz trunked system already in use on base.
