171.6125 NAC 653

This is SF FED-V, one of the 25 Cities Interoperability channels. It was patched with SF FED-U (410.4125 NAC 653) and 8TAC94.

Some monitoring notes from the East Bay...the most interesting stuff has been CHP Pink, Blue, and Blue-1 as well as 8TAC93/94. SFPD has also been using some of their interop, mutual aid, and event TGs...Golden Gate Air Guard (122.875) has also been interesting for A/A comms.

On the federal side, almost everything has been encrypted, but here's my logs grouped by NAC/agency:
164.40 NAC 001 (presumed USSS)
164.8875 NAC 001 (USSS Oscar)
165.375 NAC 001 (USSS Charlie)
166.20 NAC 001
167.0375 NAC 001

167.2375 NAC 167 (FBI)
167.7875 NAC 167
170.675 NAC 167
170.925 NAC 167

169.6125 NAC 4d7 (CBP?)
170.0625 NAC 4d7
170.9875 NAC 611 (CBP/ICE?)
171.9625 NAC 611

408.60 NAC 0F0 (State Dept?) some clear
409.0375 NAC 0F0 some clear

Unknowns
166.125
167.0375
168.9625 NAC 293
169.80
171.6125 NAC 653
406.6625 NAC 101
407.4875 NAC 290
409.525 NAC 293 some clear
410.80 NAC 127.3 (Fed Prot Svc or TSA?) "Denver" base clear mostly
///

406.6625 might be FRB (Federal Reserve Bank) last known to be Analog but with LA being $201, maybe San Fran is $101
closer monitoring is needed to Confirm tho

Lots of CHP aircraft working the event. 8TAC93/UHF3 seems to be the primary channel for CHP assets:

Air 15 (N202HP) - Cessna 208
H14 (N976HP) - AS350
H24 (N978HP) - AS350
H30 (N981HP) - AS350

As a side note the CHP helicopters were using "Huntsman" call signs:

H30 - Huntsman 1
H14 - Huntsman 2
H24 - Huntsman 3

Air Force One just departed SFO headed to Philadelphia.

Huntsman is standard callsign for aerial observer (helo) with USSS aboard

I tracked tankers from Spokane, Salt Lake City and now Phoenix. All using ZOMBE call signs and active on Blue 17. Now that POTUS is gone, they have left as well. Back to normal Bay Area monitoring: wrecks, robberies and family feuds lol.

Always the let down after major events, but it gives you time to gather all the monitoring intel you got. Just want to thank all of you out there for keeping us informed and sharing what you monitored and where you heard it. Great job San Fran guys!
