CBP DTAC 9?

[kevino]

While recording CBP ops a few months ago, I caught one unit tell another to switch to "DTAC 9". I've searched my records and the online sources I trust, but don't find this channel/frequency mentioned. Does anyone have the frequency for DTAC 9? Thanks!

Check 167.8875 NAC 301. It's a simplex tac channel that I have seen used but I don't know the channel designator.

I would bet it's in the nifog possibility. Probably stand's for Digital Tac as opposed to Analog tac freqs

There is no DTAC 9 or TAC 9 in NIFOG.

CBP use DTac to refer to P25 TAC frequencies while just Tac is an analog version. I have not seen a reference to DTac or Tac 9.

I've not seen a TAC or DTAC 9 in any historical notes/code plugs
early CBP the Tacs where just simplex of the Repeater, but in the past 10+ yrs that seems to evolve.

DNET 09 is 165.6875 $301 but I've never seen a DTAC 09 for Customs

Curious if you got a RID and this might not be a CBP user referencing DTAC 09 but another sister agency ?

I did not write the RID down. The unit who instructed the other to go to "DTAC 9" was the CBP TOC (base) during the recent "Operation Midway Blitz" in the Chicago area.

I'm looking at the codeplug for the radio I carried for a while and it tops out (in the single digits) at DTAC-8, the skips to 11. I'm not certain, but maybe 9 and 10 are local options?

I am thinking it maybe local as well or specific to the RID/Agency (Non Customs) but likely BP or ICE/HSI as a few CP's I've seen are
1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 11, 16, 40 and 299
another only has
1, 2 only
another had
1-6, 10 and DRO
and finally a WilRobnson area was only
DTacs but only the 200 Series

By any chance was DTac8 a repeater pair? Maybe DTac9 could be strapped as a simplex of the repeater output of DTac8? Just a guess based on working in a federal government radio shop years ago

It appears that CBP NETs are repeaters while TACs are simplex, so the answer would likely be "no".
