I found one here in Kansas city, 165.9750 CTCSS of 167.9, it sounded like they were in the room with me. One side was Analog ENC the other was in the clear.

Also this one isn't federal but i got a close call hit one 157.000 P25 and can find no info for it any where around missouri.

wbigcount,

165.975 has been one of the KC regional FBI repeaters since the late 80's.

157.0000 is VHF Marine Channel 20.
Depending on where you are, this can be Simplex or
used as an input to 161.6000 Mhz as a Repeater.

Any NAC for this ?

I had this in my database from the late 90's (when I lived in the Hudson Valley) as DOE/NRC. I do not know how accurate that is now, but I think I was confident enough t the time to confirm it. Scanner Master listed it as that as well. Of course this was analog at the time (and repeated), but I did not record a PL.

It could be, and it would explain why it is a new hit for me this week. There is a week-long DOE training exercise taking place in the Albany area now.

167.8750 is being used in P25 mode by one of the DOE agencies (WAPA) for their interconnected repeater network that spans from the Central Valley up in to the Sierras. NAC 293; the input is actually DCSQ. So the agency assignment is still true in some regard,
