99% of the Secret Service comms are encrypted. You MIGHT hear them talk to AF1 as it is on the ramp, if you are very close...last time they were in Dallas it was on Sierra. What you usually here is increased talk on the local stuff, especially any little used tac or swat channels. What's actually cool is listening to the airport control tower handle AF1 inbound and outbound...start listening 20 or so minutes before landing, and hear the airspace being cleared of any traffic, planes on the ground being stopped, etc. Of course it is AF1 ONLY if the POTUS is onboard, so when they called ground control before he returned it was as SAM 2001...it was there I heard them ask the tower for an opposite flow departure and they flew right over my house...shook the rafters. SS may not be able to be heard, but a lot of stuff around a visit is. Also try the local media freq...they go into hyperdrive during a visit.

liste to SAFET MA channels as they usually use it to coordinate the route from the airport to where the Pres or Vp are going. Oh, and stay off those routes too. They clear it completely before the motocade goes through including all ramps. But thats about all your going to hear. They ppatch MECA to SAFET so IMPD can close the ramps onto I-70 and I-465. It's a real PIA for traffic
Anyway, monitoring these trips is pretty worthless wit all the encryption used by the feds, but today they don't trust anyone.

Political discussion goes here : Politics - The RadioReference.com Forums

This forum is for the discussion of Radio Monitoring in the state of Indiana.

Uhh... If I'm not mistaken, I posted the fact that the President will be in Indianapolis on Friday, and then asked for any tips on what to listen to... I think that qualifies as an Indiana related thread, not a political discussion related one... (I do notice that others had contributed a few of their political views, which is what I'm now assuming you were referring to)

Yes, and the reason you don't see more of them is because they have been deleted. That comment was not directed at you :)

It was to others who wanted to stray off the topic you posted.

What time of day is this supposed to happen? I did not see a time given in the news article.

The time should be announced during the 11PM news or in the AM news. Just depends on when they decide to release the info to the media. Wish they would let people know sooner as it could avoid a lot of people getting caught off guard and stuck in traffic jams for the motorcade. Just glad I don't need to go to the West side tomorrow.

The visit was canceled due to the budget issue.
