168.1500MHz/PL of 82.5Hz

[mike_s104]

anyone know what 168.1500MHz with a PL of 82.5Hz might be? it sounds like operations of some facility. only asking because I can't figure out where it's coming from. I think it may be FEMA on Mt. Weather in Berryville, VA. I posted this in the WV forum since that's where I am receiving it. is that PL common for an agency like 100Hz is for Customs?

thanks

I'll throw in a total guess / Postal Ops.

no. in the past, I heard them talking about grounds like a pond and getting something pumped from a septic pumping company.

82.5 has known to be postal service PL for quite some time. May be it's some facility maintenance for large mail processing centers?

I cannot think of any that are close to me. the closest, I think, is Dulles Airport. the signal is too good to be from there. I'll have to see if there are some closer. thanks

Wow. That's funny you posted this so recently. Yesterday I found a new freq in the 167 range (here in Oklahoma) with the 82.5 PL as well. I looked thru all my federal stuff and couldn't find a single agency listed to that PL tone. So USPS is a good possibility... Thanks.

Also -- I kind of assume you've seen this post but it also has the same PL tone... Freq seems to match close to mine as well.
