Anyone know the frequencies used by the TSA at the Manchester Airport?
hamptonbeach said:Are you simply quoting the national channel plan, or do you have any first hand knowledge that they use any of those frequencies?
From 2 friends that are TSA in MAnchester, they do not use radios.
TSA is basically just bagage checkers, realy nothing more. If anyone is interested, they are hiring.
I know its an old post but for those who dont know "Manchester-Boston" Airport has a Security Contract with Londonderry Police and becasue it isint an international Airport i dont think they use Customs, But has any one herd Any activity on the TSA Freqs, and BTW Federal Protective Police is usuing 417.2000 (P-25) For Security Of Federal Buildings, this Freq is also used in Concord and Boston.
Just Trying to help you out!!
The airport was before designated an International Airport as they were receiving flights from Canada. They had a small customs office where those flights were dealt with. I don't know if those flights still exist, and if not, whether the International designation is allowed to remain. Customs didn't use radio because they were all next to each other. Not sure if TSA was involved w/any of that.
The FPS 417.200 is an interesting frequency to monitor as it appears to be simulcast over a very wide area. When they do radio checks, I can hear them in Concord talking to units in Boston, Manchester, Fitchburg, Burlington, Vt, Hartford, Ct and Providence, RI. Sometimes it's the Boston Dispatcher and sometimes it's the "Philadelphia Super Center".
Reminds me, I gotta bring the kids down sometime to watch the planes (and do some scannering).

IIRC, the "International" designation was (and perhaps still is??) provided to land freight directly from non-US locations. At one time, there was quite a bit, or so I was told by the then airport manager (but that was quite a while ago... before the new parking garage was built, even).
