164.65 has been active. But its digital AND encrypted, so who knows whats going on...
Also, while searching through the fed band, the scanner stopped on 167.4625 digital UNENCRYPTED but so little was said I wouldn't have a clue who it was. I heard one unit say they "were out at the jail". I think this is an FBI freq, but not sure.

Agree with you on being FBI - Couple of years back was at a bank in Reno when it was held up - I happen to have my old Rat Shack freq counter with me - I was sitting in car filling out statement and it was pegging this freq as I saw FBI agents transmiting on handhelds - I have heard both clear and encrypted transmissions om this freq - usualy in clear and pretty mundane stuff - it seems to be like an admin channel or something like that.
Well, I just found this on the 'net at:

Others are scrambled most of the time during the "real thing".
Sometimes, the best info on plane landings and limo locations and such can be
obtained through regular airport communications and local police.
The PL used extensively by USSS is 103.5 Hz.
Hearing the callsign "Air Force 1" means the President is on the plane.
"Air Force 2" is the Vice President's plane.

Law Enforcement Surveillance Scanning

Now days it seems that Big Brother is always listening in. Wherever you
are, whatever you do, there is a good chance that your private conversations
aren't so private. The FBI, Secret Service, DEA, local police, and dozens of
other government agencies are definitely interested in what you have to say.
What can we do about this? Well, unfortunately they have the badges and the
guns, so we may as well get used to it. Since we can't beat'em, might as well
enjoy it, understand it, and learn something from it.
Mikes and Bugs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most FCC legal devices are found in the 150 to 174 MHz band, and other,
limited parts of the 40 to 952 MHz range. Here is a list of FCC approved bands
for wireless mike, room bugs, and body mikes. Also note that other bands MAY
be used with special FCC permission. (An "*" indicates a band that may be used
by vehicle tracking transmitters. More on that later)
42.02 to 42.94 MHz
44.62 to 46.58 MHz
47.02 to 47.50 MHz
72.00 to 76.00 MHz
150.995 to 151.49 MHz *
153.74 to 154.445 MHz *
154.635 to 156.25 MHz *
157.05 to 157.11 MHz
158.715 to 159.645 MHz
166.25 to ------ MHz
170.15 to 173.40 MHz
453.05 to 453.95 MHz
458.05 to 458.95 MHz
460.025 to 460.625 MHz
462.95 to 462.975 MHz
465.025 to 465.625 MHz
467.95 to 467.975 MHz
470.00 to 512.00 MHz
821.00 to 824.00 MHz
866.00 to 869.00 MHz
If the purpose of the surveillance is not going to be used for criminal
prosecution, agencies are reported to work outside of FCC restrictions to
avoid detection. Though the FCC declares them illegal, devices have been
found that work in the government, TV broadcast, and even aero bands. The
following areas of the spectrum are known to be used on occasion:
73.00 to 74.6 MHz
137.00 to 138.00 MHz
216.00 to 222.00 MHz
400.00 to 406.10 MHz
608.00 to 614.00 MHz
Surveillance Repeaters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Law enforcement agencies use mobile repeaters and extenders to retransmit comms
of interest. These low power (about 15 watts) repeaters are usually located in
patrol cars. This allows the officer to monitor the surveillance device from
outside his car via portable handheld transceiver. These are often simply
little used channels of their normal assigned bands. Surveillance mobile
repeaters are still quite weak, so if you can hear it, it's probably close by!
(under your bed ?!) Here is a list of mobile repeaters used by state
enforcement agencies:

Vehicle Tracking Transmitters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enforcement agencies often need to track suspect vehicles, cargo
shipments, or packages. Tiny transmitters are used that emit a quarter second
beep once each second. Some contain motion detectors that beep once every ten
seconds when not in motion. This saves battery life and of course provides
some information as to the status of the tagged object. Vehicles used for
tracking these transmitters are easy to spot. Look for four identical
antennas mounted in a square configuration. (Hmm, that pizza-van has been
parked across the street for over four days!)
Remote Control Surveillance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some transmitters can be set for remote control operation. That way they
can be turned off during times of inactivity to conserver power. They can also
be turned off to avoid detection during countersurveillance sweeps to avoid
detection. Look for these types of systems in the 72.01 to 72.99 MHz and 75.99
MHz bands (20 kHz steps). Some are thought to operate in the 300 to 350 MHz
band as well.

Notes:
407.850 and 415.700 are never scrambled.
Others are scrambled most of the time during the "real thing".
Sometimes, the best info on plane landings and limo locations and such can be
obtained through regular airport communications and local police.
The PL used extensively by USSS is 103.5 Hz.
Hearing the callsign "Air Force 1" means the President is on the plane.
"Air Force 2" is the Vice President's plane.

Now days it seems that Big Brother is always listening in. Wherever you
are, whatever you do, there is a good chance that your private conversations
aren't so private. The FBI, Secret Service, DEA, local police, and dozens of
other government agencies are definitely interested in what you have to say.
What can we do about this? Well, unfortunately they have the badges and the
guns, so we may as well get used to it. Since we can't beat'em, might as well
enjoy it, understand it, and learn something from it.
Mikes and Bugs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most FCC legal devices are found in the 150 to 174 MHz band, and other,
limited parts of the 40 to 952 MHz range. Here is a list of FCC approved bands
for wireless mike, room bugs, and body mikes. Also note that other bands MAY
be used with special FCC permission. (An "*" indicates a band that may be used
by vehicle tracking transmitters. More on that later)
42.02 to 42.94 MHz
44.62 to 46.58 MHz
47.02 to 47.50 MHz
72.00 to 76.00 MHz
150.995 to 151.49 MHz *
153.74 to 154.445 MHz *
154.635 to 156.25 MHz *
157.05 to 157.11 MHz
158.715 to 159.645 MHz
166.25 to ------ MHz
170.15 to 173.40 MHz
453.05 to 453.95 MHz
458.05 to 458.95 MHz
460.025 to 460.625 MHz
462.95 to 462.975 MHz
465.025 to 465.625 MHz
467.95 to 467.975 MHz
470.00 to 512.00 MHz
821.00 to 824.00 MHz
866.00 to 869.00 MHz
If the purpose of the surveillance is not going to be used for criminal
prosecution, agencies are reported to work outside of FCC restrictions to
avoid detection. Though the FCC declares them illegal, devices have been
found that work in the government, TV broadcast, and even aero bands. The
following areas of the spectrum are known to be used on occasion:
73.00 to 74.6 MHz
137.00 to 138.00 MHz
216.00 to 222.00 MHz
400.00 to 406.10 MHz
608.00 to 614.00 MHz
Surveillance Repeaters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Law enforcement agencies use mobile repeaters and extenders to retransmit comms
of interest. These low power (about 15 watts) repeaters are usually located in
patrol cars. This allows the officer to monitor the surveillance device from
outside his car via portable handheld transceiver. These are often simply
little used channels of their normal assigned bands. Surveillance mobile
repeaters are still quite weak, so if you can hear it, it's probably close by!
(under your bed ?!) Here is a list of mobile repeaters used by state
enforcement agencies:

Vehicle Tracking Transmitters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enforcement agencies often need to track suspect vehicles, cargo
shipments, or packages. Tiny transmitters are used that emit a quarter second
beep once each second. Some contain motion detectors that beep once every ten
seconds when not in motion. This saves battery life and of course provides
some information as to the status of the tagged object. Vehicles used for
tracking these transmitters are easy to spot. Look for four identical
antennas mounted in a square configuration. (Hmm, that pizza-van has been
parked across the street for over four days!)
Remote Control Surveillance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some transmitters can be set for remote control operation. That way they
can be turned off during times of inactivity to conserver power. They can also
be turned off to avoid detection during countersurveillance sweeps to avoid
detection. Look for these types of systems in the 72.01 to 72.99 MHz and 75.99
MHz bands (20 kHz steps). Some are thought to operate in the 300 to 350 MHz
band as well.

The ONLY agency I have found to transmit digital in-the-clear in this area is TSA (172.9) yawn....
