OK, I hear you as well as someone else that pointed that out the other day. thanks, I understand how a scanner rounds freqs up or down, I just wasn't aware the feds used 12.5Hz spacing

169.2375MHz 1010 Mode
hearing a lot of traffic on 169.2375MHz. (yes, 169.2375MHz) I heard a radio check from what sounds like two base units. then one said "let's try that 10-10 mode." everything from then on has been encrypted. everything was still analog and they would send the 100.00Hz tone at key-up. see link for audio.

VA Medical Center Fire Freq
Tonight I heard Fire dispatched from Berkeley County then heard an engine from VA Medical Center Fire Dept getting directions. I guess they respond when they are close.
Anyone have any more info?

Recorded some in-the-clear P25 traffic this morning on 165.2875MHz. They were the tail-end of conversations. I have it listed as BATF.

170.0250MHz - Berkeley Co.
I have 170.0250MHz listed as FBI. I've been hearing simplex P25 traffic this morning starting about 7AM. I could hear one side pretty well and it was in-the-clear. the other side was not as strong of a signal and was encrypted.

More DEA Activity
sounds like mixed P25 and analog on various DEA freqs/channels. these were recorded while I was at work so I'm not sure of the signal strength, but they sound very strong.
according to the below link, "Flint 622" is DEA aircraft

not sure who/what "Rum Runner" is.
on their website, they list offices in Winchester, VA and Hagerstown, MD; both are close to me.

Got a new one to figure out. 407.600 P25 in the clear. Sounds like airport activity. Callsigns are Foghorn and Fullback, mentioned a departure.
1954- OK, maybe not an airport, but they always talk about departures.
1959- "Single arrival, scheduled."

I have it in Leesburg. If you have it in the rotation you should've heard something by now if you're in range.
Just heard-
Question: 'Where are you? '
Answer: 'Inside the restaurant at the bar.'

Mike and Travis, I'm thinking that at one time FULLBACK was State Dept. Security. Not sure if that's still the case or not.

I must not be in range since I haven't heard anything on that yet. next time I'm in the area I'll check it out.

I found this site and it agrees.

Fullback=State Dept Security Van
I'm now hearing the callsign 'Backstop' which seems like it would be a location as opposed to a vehicle. Someone is being told to landline them.

I thought this one may have been discussed before, but a search turned up nothing. According to my spreadsheet I've received it previously.
408.4 PL 192.8
It a federal common freq, so who knows?
Heard "102B wing, looks like a control error, low alarm, I'll look up on the air handler and see if I can see anything on the other one." More discussion about air handler stuff.

Sounds like GSA or base maintenance. 408.400 is commonly paired with 418.050; anything there? 418.050/408.400 is also "US&R Channel 6 Command-1 (Repeater)", although I doubt USAR does much HVAC work ;^)

Just found 415.025 analog in the clear. I'm wondering if it is postal inspectors. A woman was run over and killed by a truck at the Dulles mail facility about 3:00pm.
I've heard:
"541 to Central-priority traffic".
"541 to 544- Information is too sensitive to pass over the radio, give me a phone call."
Sounds like a good bet it is the USPS.
Also had 414.75 P25 ENC recently too.
1849- The US Park Service comms on 409.05 sound like what I heard on 415.025. I can't find any record of 415.025 anywhere.

162.3375MHz
I just started hearing some encrypted P25 traffic on 162.3375MHz, about 2 bars on my 996T. its listed in the RR Wiki as FAA Channel 11 input.
I bet this is coming from Leesburg where there is an FAA facility off of RT7.
