a was there last week coming home from vacation and noticed that too-while on the subject does anyone know the freqs they use and is it encrypted

I scan Bradley TSA from West Granby. The frequency is 172.9000 P25. It is not encrypted. I I have never seen an encrypted signal from their repeater. Radio IDs are in the 2xxxxxx range.

BTW, this info is already in the DB at the bottom of this page.

Only one channel. They don't say much on the radio, other than when they are starting or finishing an RPD, which is a "resolution pat down."

TSA Primary Ops is on 172.9000 R $001 however [not having found any yet] there are [at many other airports] simplex channels used for the X-Ray machines [People not Baggage] that all you will hear [if not ENC] is the Person remotely operating the Scanner advising
a. "Male - Clear"
b. "Female - Clear"
c. "Male - Anomaly [insert location(s)]
d. "Female - Anomaly [insert location(s)]

These have bee seen anywhere in the 162 [yes below the NWS] thru 174
on all sorts of other agency shared frequencies [mostly CBP]
Some are P25, others Analog with basic Speech inversion

Note - you need to be close to the terminal/scanner to even pick them up.
Here in Boston, even across the harbor or at Cell-Phone parking we have only discovered 14 of them and some are shared [diff Tone or NAC] with another terminal


Happy Hunting.

They have a repeater. I'm all the way in West Granby receiving them at three or four bars.

Although nothing listed for Bradley, perhaps those in range can submit them to him.

In your post it said you have to be close to the terminal.

Yes, for the other channels [the Xray] :roll:

When I went to KC two weeks ago, I saw the trooper that saw some baggage with no one around it in the terminal. When the person came back, he ran his name/DOB.
