Fire Buff....thanks for posting these frequencies. I am always looking to put more Fed frequencies into my scanner that are sometimes in the clear. I don't think all 3 of them are even in the DB, so feel free to submit anything heard not found in the DB.

The FBI, CIA, NSA and US Marshalls all have registered frequencies with the FCC. All of them also have unlicensed black listed frequencies they use for covert operations. Some of them are not even P25 either but system voice that are undisclosed. Most of the time though it is P25 in simplex with encrypted cell phones. A lot of federal agents now use cell phones with AES encryption for their tactical stuff too.

My scanner is locked on to it now, but I am not picking up anything so far. According to a search, it is listed in the Wiki as a National Incident/Fed Interop unconfirmed frequency. It has also been confirmed used by several National parks and fire services throughout the country. Keep us posted if you hear anything else.

9/10 shot if you picked it up on your scanner it was P25 digital and not say... DMR or something..

If it's VHF it's most likely Federal Government ( I would bank some money on that) ; as to who or what without a NAC code you don't have much except the general frequency stuff

LOL....I highly doubt they intentionally communicated in the clear, then said to themselves.."Let's look on radio ref and see if anyone noticed....if so, then and only then we will switch back to encryption". Give me a break. Cracking up over here.

Actually, you'd be surprised - the reason listed above is why the Plainfield Police Detectives on the NJ ICS went from clear to secure mode.

I'm certain that the above named frequency is a US Customs repeater as I have heard that freq and NAC in the Asbury Park area last year in clear/secure mode.

Just about all Fed radios have the option to switch back and forth between encrypted and in the clear. If they were in the clear one moment and then switch to encryption, it's most likely because they chose to communicate something in a sensitive nature. An active FED agent currently on the job is not going to take the time to suddenly log on to radio ref just to find out if someone is monitoring them. Bologna!

In regards to PD, such as Plainfield Detectives, Anyone could find out which frequency they were using by going to the FCC db, so what folks post on here doesn't make one bit a difference...hence not the reason they went encrypted. Eventually all PD's will go encrypted either way despite what is posted here, unless a miracle new future law prohibits it.

Fyi...from what I understand, ALL NJICS radios have the ability to go encrypted whenever they want and they ALL know that many hobbyists enjoy monitoring them already regardless of these forums.

West of the Mississippi ot is DoA, USFS and some State Users

out east the NAC will ID the source, most likely, as others have pointed out
it could be USSS, CBP, ICE, BP

And sadly, many of the newer Code Plug revisions are being designed with ENC 100% - no option to disable at the user level :evil:

USPS Hamilton Plant

I was told earlier today by my contact that the USPS Processing Plant in Hamilton switched recently to DMR, and that they are also on a repeater now. Can anyone in that area search the 406-419 MHz band and help narrow down the freq. to update the database?
