Can we confirm this is the correct frequency for this part of the band? 162-174mhz
@12.5khz defaults to: 168.1625

or did you mean 168.1875?

Thank Flano.

Interesting that 173.9625 is not getting interference from the CBP down in Nogales.

I am located close to the mountains to the SE of Tucson, and so likely wouldn't hear them due to terrain blocking. The comms are definitely mobile that I heard, and have made no references to any interference.

They seem to have gotten a handle on things, since yesterday. Air-Attack-9CC just went back to Tucson and will be back in the afternoon.
