FBI Freqs Heard in Washington County

[Gilligan]

Just thought I'd throw this out there... I don't have a P25-capable scanner any longer but I recently scanned the 167 MHz range and found P25 activity on 167.3875, 167.4875, and 167.5625, all of which are common FBI channels.

I am willing to bet that they are all P25-Encrypted w/ 167 NAC, but someone w/ a P25 scanner will have to confirm this. And I was using a decent antenna on the car, so I suppose it could be from the area surrounding Washington County possibly, as I know that FBI repeaters sometimes use high-power.

Are they strong enough to be heard in Chambersburg. I'll give it a try.

Its strong enough at my place. Got solid bars and cc on the 996xt.

Been monitoring them over a year and 99.9% of the time they are encrypted (probably good since they would have been now anyway) and the NAC is 167. There's 2 offices in Winchester VA (one is in a nondescript building in downtown and another on the outskirts), I think there's a small one in Martinsburg, WV and there's at least one in Hagerstown, MD. About a year ago I heard someone on an analog freq call the Richmond office and asked for some info. I'm guessing they have some kind of link established.

At my place they are encrypted also when I hear them. Don't hear them much though.
