Possibly the new training facility on east side of 340 south of the Harper's Ferry light. I heard it was for Border Patrol, but unsure if that is correct. The paper said that it would be a very large facility. Maybe the reason for several checkpoints?


we'll have to be on the "look out" for new freqs being used.

418.9

heard about 3 seconds of traffic today at about 8am on 418.9 with a tone of 156.7. it was really quick, I think I heard Harper's Ferry mentioned. I looked and it's listed as DEA Channel 2.

since I have been parked on it for the last 15min or so, I have not heard any more voice traffic but do hear short bursts of data.

may be something to monitor.

167.5375 - Berkeley Co.

heard encrypted P25 traffic on 167.5375 today for about 30 secs or so. in the Wiki and/or the new Federal Forum, this is listed as FBI channel 5 and 6.

163.1 Digital

hearing traffic right now on 163.100MHz. It is P25 and full strength. sounds like they are working on a transmitter on a tower somewhere. this is in Berkeley Co.

it is listed here:
http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/National_Incident_Radio_Support_Cache

but could be almost any agency. it's listed under a few here:
http://www.radioreference.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53254

this would be one to add into a misc bank somewhere. if anyone hears anything other then what I have heard, let me know.

I haven't heard anything on 163.1 here in Loudoun. But I just heard a radio check on 169.1625 PL103.5 which I don't have on any of my lists.
It went like this:

"Foxtrot radio check. Control to Romeo-1". He responds "Romeo-1 10-2, 10-4."
"Control to Lima1Lima2." He responds with "Lima1Lima2". "Control to RomeoLima", who checks in. It ends with "Sierra1 Channel 4 radio check complete."

the traffic on 163.100 is like I said, digital. it almost sounded like a general freq. heard one talking about taking a load to the dump. another was someone asking a lady to call the cell phone company to have them check their equipment because it was causing a lot of noise on their system.

I'll see if I have 169.1625 on mine, if not I will add it now.

have you checked out the federal forum?


edit: 169.1625 is listed as TSA in TX, might be something to go on...http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&action=isf&stid=10001&freq=169.1625

Just had another radio check that sounded very similar to before, but on 162.6875 PL 103.5 which is White House Communications Y.

"Control to Lima1Lima2.

Control to Mike1Mike2 radio check.

Control to Romeo1 radio check.

Control to RomeoLima radio check.

Time now 1727, ???????? radio check complete"

I never heard the other units.

1732- Just had a few hits on that 415.2 P25 freq. No actual comms yet. 1735- Ok, some in the clear and some encrypted.
Checked some notes and I have it listed as Federal Protective Service - F-1 Dispatch.

do you think the other freq is part of the white house system?

I think either White House or Secret Service since both use the 103.5 tone. Plus it really sounded like the same guy.

I'll have to check for the possibility of it actually being some like 169.165
