If you have not done so yet, start loading the NTIA federal interops Law Enforcement and Incident Response frequencies. I read Chris P,'s post on his MT Fed Files blog with the link to a DHS document outlining usage guidlines and thought it might be time to load these new NTIA frequency assignments into the scanner now that there is an "official" plan by DHS.
MT Fed Files: NIFOG Update
And it did not take long to get activity! Today I heard a new base ("D base" and some mobile traffic) in Indian River County FL testing coverage on a new installation. This was on 414.0375 PL 167.9 LE B Calling. They were happy with the coverage and stopped testing. Good thing I was listening! That might not become active "in use" for a while. I put a closer ear on the other LE's and did not hear anything. Listen up in your areas for new installations! It looks like a go on these.
Here is a quick breakdown of the plan (inputs ommited):
167.0875 PL 167.9 LE A / LE 1 Calling (analog)
167.2500 NAC $68F LE 2 / LE 6 (digital)
167.7500 NAC $68F LE 3 / LE 7 (digital)
168.1125 NAC $68F LE 4 / LE 8 (digital)
168.4625 NAC $68F LE 5 / LE 9 (digital)
414.0375 PL 167.9 LE B Calling (analog)
409.9875 PL 167.9 LE 10/ LE 16 (analog)
410.1875 NAC $68F LE 11 / LE 17 (digital)
410.1625 NAC $68F LE 12 / LE 18 (digital)
414.0625 NAC $68F LE 13 (digital)
414.3125 NAC $68F LE 14 (digital)
414.3375 NAC $68F LE 15 (digital)
169.5375 PL 167.9 IR NC1 CALL / IR 5 (analog)
170.0125 PL 167.9 IR 1 / IR 6 (analog)
170.4125 PL 167.9 IR 2 / IR 7 (analog)
170.6875 PL 167.9 IR 3 / IR 8 (analog)
173.0375 PL 167.9 IR 4 / IR 9 (anolog)
410.2375 PL 167.9 IR NC 2 CALL / IR 15 (analog)
410.4375 PL 167.9 IR 10 / IR 16 (analog)
410.6375 PL 167.9 IR 11 / IR 17 (analog)
410.8375 PL 167.9 IR 12 / IR 18 (analog)
413.1875 PL 167.9 IR 13 (analog)
413.2125 PL 167.9 IR 14 (analog)
NOTE: Channels listed with two designations are repeated and simplex direct (the later being simplex).
Use of PL is said to be optional, but what I heard today was all with PL.
My thanks to Chris P for a great find. Download that document for full details. I did not expect development on any of these for a while, but here it is. Take a listen in your area!
