Just a heads up for anybody in Wenatchee Valley area, I heard on the online feed yesterday morning Rivercom dispatch say "All East Wenatchee units switch to the new channel", and the old one has been quiet ever since. After work I spent a few hours scouring the FCC license search for new frequencies but came up empty. I'll continue to monitor and see what I can find, and post a database update if I can figure it out.

If you have time throw these freqs into search mode and see if they hit on anything interesting:
153.785
154.74/159.39
155.01
155.07
155.31
155.37
155.415
155.67
452.5/457.5
465.50
153.785
154.74/159.39
155.01
155.07
155.31
155.37
155.415
155.67
452.5/457.5
465.50
I'll try that after work today, thanks! hopefully they haven't gone digital with the big E
155.415 is Law 2 County Dispatch, not sure about the other two. I don't ever recall seeing the 450+mhz ones before either. Who knows what they're up to.

Thanks Wilrobnson, your additions to the frequencies made them make a lot more sense, here's what I found so far
153.785 WENATCHEE PD TAC (Input for main wenatchee pd? only hearing officers, no dispatch. They identify with their unit number 1K## which is Wenatchee identifiers)
154.74/159.39 CHELAN SO TAC (Maybe new East Wenatchee PD Freq, sounds encrypted
)
155.01 EAST WENATCHEE PD CH-2 (Car to Car Possibly outdated now as well as CH-1)
155.07 INPUT TO CHELAN SO LAW-1 (Confirmed)
155.31 WENTACHEE PD F-1 (OUT) (Confirmed)
155.37 LERN (Confirmed)
155.415 CHELAN SO LAW-2 (Douglas County Sheriff main "Law 2")
155.67 EAST WENTACHEE PD CH-1 (OUT) (Old Channel now)
452.5/457.5 (Some blips every now and then that sound digital)
465.50
The reason I think the 154.740 above is the new East Wenatchee PD is Douglas County Sheriff was asked to help look for someone with them and they moved to their channel, and that one started getting a lot more active. I'll keep monitoring to make sure but so far looks like its conventional P25E. It could be the 452/457 are the new freqs because they will also blip from time to time but immediately turn off, which might be more indicitive of encryption if the SDS200 knows to mute them, the 465 could be car-to-car which explains why it's quiet so far since it was barely ever used before on analog. The 154.740 when transmitting is just a constant digital for as long as it transmits, so not sure which is which yet.

I don't think you have to worry but 154.74 is WSP North Pierce P25. They put out some serious power. I'm getting Lewis county from my QTH so VHF is somewhat prop'y tonight.
Keep up the monitoring.. it's the only way to figure that stuff out.
I'm suspecting they were just testing the new frequency, since I've been hearing them in the clear on their regular frequency of 155.670 for close to a week. Still have no idea what the new one is, and hard to scan for it when they aren't using it!
