408.100 mhz San Antonio

[Wayne]

Today, while travelling from Austin to Corpus Christi, heard P-25 digital conventional activity on 408.100 mhz in area of loop 1604 @ I-10 (east side San Antonio). Sounded like security ops of some kind (LP checks e.t.c.). Anyone know what agency this is?

Possibly Lackland AFB. One of their freqs is 408.0875. They were doing some AP training the other day. Kind of funny really, they were taking turns handling the same illegally parked vehicle.

408.100 isn't in use on any of the miliary trunked systems in the area. A quick search shows that this might be a US Postal Service Frequency.

Good Catch!

Wayne, my appologies, a quick review indicates that Fort Sam Houston recently added this frequency to their Smartzone site.

So, it's Fort Sam you were hearing.

Fort Sam Houston military system

Thanks Lindsay for the clarification. I assumed it was not a trunked frequency as I was able to follow the conversations on one frequency. Looking at the information for the Fort Sam Houston site, there are only three or four frequencies for the site system, so the associated talkgroups and usage probably is minimal...
