Those used to be point to point repeater or voting receiver links. I don't know if they are still used.

They all fall into the FBI links area. Chicago moved their UHF links to 1714/1812 and 1746/1842 mHz years ago. Prior to the move they used 414.025, 414.075, 414.275, 419.55, 419.575, 408.225, 414.525, and 419.475. Some of the UHF link frequencies were constant carrier, others transmitted only during voice traffic.UHF links are typically used to carry voice to/from remote VHF repeater and satellite receivers locations. Leased telephone lines could have been used, but they came with a monthly reoccuring cost.
I like to listen to B96, my wife won't let me listen when she is around. 92.5/92.7/99.9 Dance Factory is good too.
The 482 NAC is a strong indicator that it is Postal Inspectors.
Got traffic FINALLY on the new FANNIN COUNTY DETENTION CENTER in Bonham Last night. NAC 293 on 456.2000. Seems it was PRISON SECURITY talking with a US MARSHALL Vehicle in the Sally port. This facility is also used by ICE as a holding center and houses a small US MARSHALL SERVICE team.
We had an incident in the county last week where our SRT (FCSO SWAT) unit was chasing a violent subject around the south end of the county and cornered him in a home, USMS responded to assist in his capture. They wore UHF radios and ALSO used this frequency as well as NEXTEL. But last night I confirmed this this channel to be P25 with a 293 NAC.

Great catch. Interesting use for that frequency. Have you checked out the others on the license?

Yep, every time I'm up there I've been scanning them in open search. I know the maintenance channel is analog As I have had to follow the maintenance guy around a few times and have heard the traffic. Unfortunately, I've never had my scanner present when I've done this.
I have to be in the SO for a meeting later this week, I'll sneak in the scanner and quietly scan them and see what else pops up.
Also, so far there is NO repeater activity on these 4. To the best of my knowledge all of these are used as Simplex channels. And they are turned down low, my guess 1 to 2 watts as they don't have a significant signal outside of Bonham.
Copied GULF 2574 on 165.2375 PL: 100.0 in the clear Specifically talking to Dallas with starting and ending millage. When he was 10-9'd he said his "TEXAS ID WAS 2574" then went on to Relay his traffic.
Do we know what GULF units are?

Charlie 100 or Sector is the NLECC in Orlando
Delta is usually a Port base with CBP.

India = CBP Officers
Kilo = CBP K-9 Officers
Lima = CBP/AMO Air Interdiciton Agents
Mike = CBP/AMO Marine Interdiction Agents
Omaha = CBP Air units

Max, Squad hit them on the head, GOLF is ICE DROs.
I heard an ALPHA 402X yesterday, on A2 out of San Antonio. I figure there are a lot of ICE guys around but I don't hear too many of them.
Yesterday on Blue-3, I was hearing HAMMER working Omaha34K, and 34K was very faint, so probably working south of San Antonio. It's a Cessna 550 Citation II, N2734K.
Did anyone catch any atypical USSS traffic in Austin yesterday or hear AF1 on ABIA clearance/tower?

Who uses NAC 259?

I am pretty sure this is ICE or CBP. The frequency in question is 165.4875 using a NAC of 259. ENC for sure and full-time. Also, this is a "Mixed-Mode" use with analog and a DPL in use as well. I think I listed the DPL in a previous post.
Area of use is West Texas near Abilene. The analog side has more OTAR than voice. Abilene use to use 163.625 and 163.675 analog and no repeater. Most units were coming out of San Angelo.
I heard 165.4875 about 2 yrs ago. At that time could not catch the NAC. Since then, only analog OTAR use seemed to pop up. Caught it the other day while passing through. It is linked to some other channels but unknown which ones and doubtful they are connected to 163.625 and 163.675. I would bet San Angelo is where it is linked to since I remember San Angelo office calling units on this very same channel 2 yrs ago.
Happy scanning!

That's definitely CBP/ICE, I believe it's Net-8. The OTAR is another giveaway. Good catch, have you submitted the information for the area? You also might want to mention that NAC in the Federal NAC Codes thread. From there someone will probably put it in the Wiki.

Would/Could that be in the Ozona area? [not being from the area, my Geography is off] someone reported P25 back in March, but no NAC.
165.4875 is usually a CBP Repeater [NET-25] the typical 3 CBP Pairs [New England were Net-01, Net-02 and Net-25

Definately in and around Abilene. The NAC is what puzzled me but I do remember 2 yrs ago hearing this same channel in use as a P-25 at that time. The analog side seems to only be OTAR w/no voice but does have a DPL on it I think of 032 [check previous post].
Also, if you travel south out of Abilene heading towards Coleman there is another rptr down that way with a different freq and NAC. I have not be able to confirm but will when I head that way some time. Down there that rptr seems to work for many miles around. Seems like San Angelo main channel. Could be wire-lined but doubtful given info I heard on it.
Also, lot's of channels in use near Dyess for their op's. Mainly direct w/no rptr. Some channels full time ENC.
Oh and Callahan County SO, voice inversion, no p-25 but maybe narrowband.
I will leave it to someone esle to update the NAC's and Wiki if that's okay?

I have been getting a lot of Activity today on 167.7625 PL: 167.9 Which I have as FBI C-1 Tyler. However, the signal is too strong to be Tyler alone. I am wondering if this might be part of Collin or Plano as its been jamming ever since the McKinney shooting incident today. Could possibly be Sherman or Plano.
Yes the voice traffic is well encrypted so there is surely no way to isolate the area, but just wanted to pass it along.

Definately Sherman. Tower is on the left side of the road as you drive through heading north. Heard it many times as I traveled through.

All right, I haven't been on here in a while guys and I've been sitting on these CBP tones for a while:
A few weeks ago, I went to the beach in Corpus Christi, and on the way had my scanner on, and for it being early sunday morning, CBP was blowing up. I was getting a ton of voice traffic on I-37 traveling south and started hearing this all in maybe Wilson and Live Oak counties.
163.625 MHz DCS 025 (Primary Dispatch)
163.650 MHz DCS 026
163.675 MHz DCS 034
163.775 MHz CTCSS 100.0 (Used for OTAR)
163.775 MHz NAC 302 (Encrypted voice)
170.675 MHz NAC 280 (Tactical) (heard units working on 163.65 say to switch over to "Tactical" to continue working one incident, and then when this came up, it was Encrypted Voice)
And many months ago, I took a trip to Schulenberg, and on the way back, I was hearing CBP Primary, 163.625 MHz in P25 with NAC 056. I heard extended voice conversation, with multiple agents attempting to talk to another agent whose radio had been programmed wrong and she couldn't get the encryption to turn off and apparently everyone else was hearing it cause their radio's hadn't been re-keyed to be compatible with her radio yet. I heard them chatting for almost 25 min off and on on I-10 traveling west back towards San Antonio, probably through Fayette and Gonzales counties.
So that's 3 P25 channels that CBP has in use that I don't think have been reported before, and though I'm not sure of the actual locations of the transmitters, those are the areas I monitored them from.

David I was programming your frequencies to my Pro-106. But one frequency 163.675 MHz DCS 034 the DCS tone cannot be found in the DCS tone list of the radio nor on ARC500 software. Thanks to everyone posting your frequencies list.
