...while on a trip down to LA I was looking around the 400MHz government band. On the way down, I found a Control Channel on 408.35 with a SysID of 440Fh. On the way back, I actually monitored the control channel moving from 408.35 to 407.35. I looked it up on rr.com, and there didn't appear to be any possible systems.
I also tried to search out the voice channels, but the system activity was too low to find anything else. It didn't help that I was doing 70MPH on I-5 at the time.
When the control channel moved, I listened to voice on the 408.35. I heard some brief transmissions that made me think it was related to a prison. A bit of research on the way home leads me to beleive this may be from the Taft Federal Prison.

My monitoring on I-5 seem to coorelate to the location of the prison...
