ATF Frequencies - Tampa

[N1XDS]

Does anyone know the frequencies for the local Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms for the Tampa office?

They tend to use a pretty standard group of frequency's throughout the Country. Although some places they may use a local or State radio system. Check out this page from the Wiki;
Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) - The RadioReference Wiki

At a minimum, they are a SLERS interoperability partner:

Partners / Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System (SLERS) / Radio Communications / Public Safety Bureau / SUNCOM / Department of Management Services - DMS

Correct Kenny, while in Tampa last month returning from my Cruise the BATFE was confirmed on atleast two different Repeaters on 165.2875 [Most likely Net 1 and Net 2 - based on the input NAC] :wink:

I am in West Palm Beach. I know over here they r on the state system. I monitor the 165.2875 rpt. It comes up with a data burst every once in a while but havnt heard voices on it for a long time..

If you click onto Bolt21's SLERS guide down at the bottom they do say ATF is a user on the state system

I have the frequencies set correctly in the scanner from ProScan with the R/R database. Hopefully I will get something from them I like to hear them.

Just to clarify, they are an "interoperability" partner, not a full blown SLERS partner. My county's sheriff's office is an interop partner, but they operate on their own in-the-clear EDACS system. However, if the Tampa ATFE were to become silent, wouldn't be a big mystery where they went.

Regardless, seeing ANY agency on the SLERS list makes my skin crawl, whether all-out partner or not.
