Scanning ICE

[MrBungle]

My co workers are showing me reports they are gatherings of ICE being deployed to the local communities from Provo, allegedly being seen as far north as the Idaho/Utah border. Is anyone else scanning their frequencies? I loaded theirs in from the RR database into my SDRTrunk because they are P25, in addition one conventional NFM at 165.8375.

I don't use any social media, so for things like this I'm not really in the loop. But if there was ever a time these frequencies are going to be used, we may see activity on them in 2025.

I'm not happy about the ICE situation but most, if not all these reports are just police doing regular police stuff. Seems many people are now considering anyone with a badge, tacticool outfit, vest to be ICE which is wholly inaccurate.

So many federal frequencies I just never hear anything on, so maybe this year will be different. No wildfires here, I don't hear BLM or fire guys. No tornados or floods or anything, so I don't ever hear FEMA. Secret Service is out of the question, no ATF (when I worked in policing, there was one ATF agent that lived in Mountain Green and he repped all of Northern Utah from Davis north and part of Idaho and a bit of Wyoming- not a lot of radio traffic but holy hell he had a weapons cache in the bed of his federal truck in a wicked slide out drawer). I'm too far from the airport to hear that group, I'm too far from any federal border so no CBP...

I'm an immigrant. Just because we don't have a wall doesn't mean you shouldn't use the door. I used the door and paid my entry fee's.

I'm just interested in hearing anything Federal. I also have the eNIFOG app on my iPhone in case I need any Federal frequency.

Great post. I am an immigrant, too. But then, most of us are immigrants, unless we are indigenous.

Most federal frequencies, especially when any agency is involved in sensitive operations, are usually encrypted, but never hurts to try. Also, many federal agency are opting to use text or cellphones over radios now a days.
