I have never monitored Federal frequencies before, I live in central Illinois. Are there any regularly active frequencies in the area or the state?

Thanks,
Ian

Are those first FBI repeater freqs. correct? I've never heard of a repeater output in the 162 range and input in the 167s. Are they swapped around?

The FBI used to run their repeaters that way - back in the '80's!! Around 1992 or so when they upgraded the encryption they went to the 163 inputs / 167 outputs...

Unfortunately there are still lists out on the Web, that have not been updated sinces the 80/90's and
are still being passed around as legit. :(

Chris is correct many 162/163/164 channels became the inputs to 167 Mhz Outputs.

In the 2000's They began to expand outside the 167 Mhz Output and have 167-174 Mhz Rptrs.
