Are you asking about the 800 mHz trunked DCFD system or the legacy dispatch on 154.19? On 800 I don't know if they've rebanded but if you're hearing nothing there then that's probably what has happened.
I'm hearing 154.19 today, January 7, but for some reason it's a weak signal.

DC rebanded on 800 almost a year ago. The database should be fine, but make sure you uncheck the 460MHz site in Freescan before downloading.

I was in DC for three days and 154.190 signal was weak. Had to set the volume offset to +3 just to hear the dispatcher. That was 12-19 thru 12-21 while Amtrack had $19.00 fares from Norfolk to DC.
