Other than that, I don't recall anything. But yes there may have been a visit that required the Charlie repeater to be mobilized. I have seen many NAC's used from 1-9 by Charlie-Xray

Yup,, allows them to control/access only that Repeater vs keying up all the Charlie repeaters in an area/region

Note: my radios don't have NAC decode.
Both of these I heard 3/6/2023...
Indianapolis
I went for my TSA PreCheck and picked up two freqs via CloseCall which I later confirmed yesterday to be full-time P25 ENC.
411.4375
411.2875
Both are simplex.
There are two TSA checkpoints which makes sense they would have two frequencies.
Palm Springs, CA
411.2875 P25 simplex with a mix of ENC and clear transmissions

Thus confirming KIND TSA is now UHF. I would suspect Evansville is also.

Now if someone (Local) or traveling thru can get the NAC's
With the 500 coming up, I'm hopeful. 🤞🏻Now if someone (Local) or traveling thru can get the NAC's
I will try to get the repeater for IND, if I can get time to take a trip over to the airport I will snag the HT's. From my place I should be able to nab the repeater once I get it identified...Now if someone (Local) or traveling thru can get the NAC's
George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) - Houston, TX
Heard from E Terminal - 3/10/2023:
I would assume these were both simplex--not sure. Neither one had a very strong signal while listening from inside the airport.
Heard from E Terminal - 3/10/2023:
- 419.6875 P25 100% ENC
- 414.6125 P25 100% not ENC - mentioned BPS battery needed so this is definitely TSA

NAC?
As we have seen. each airport has a unique NAC
Bismarck
KD0KWV
The TSOC is not run out of O'Hare the TSOC is run out of the DC Area, chances are they used them to contact the O'Hare Coordination Center and they would then contact the TSOC if need be.
I used to take phone calls from the them at O'Hare. "Hi, this is the O'Hare TSA Coordination Center with , we have an image of a firearm on Lane xx" for example. Any phone calls we made to TSA were filtered through the O'Hare TSA Coordination Center. All 312-686-xxxx prefixes (O'Hare Airport prefixes).
Each major airport has its own TSACC. Yes the National TSOC is in the Alphabet Letter Capitol area all securified and technopretty with the rest of them thar Homeland Security HQ type folks. But just like all the rest of them Alphabet Bois, they don't put all them eggs in just one basket. After all, USDHS has Regional Communications Centers, like the one here in Indianappytown.

KLBE TSA agents that were walking around the airshow today had APX900(0?) radios with a UHF antenna. I was unable to have a radio searching for a freq/NAC.
Was at IND last week and saw the same thing. APX900 with UHF antennas.
Try 406.7375. I see that coming up in a few different states.

I was sitting right outside the terminal of LBE for about 3 hours the other day, and was unable to capture anything on any of the "regular" TSA freqs, but I did catch an aviation related hit on 412.3375 PL173.8. Would TSA have switched to a UHF analog freq?

First thought is an image, as I've got No notes at all for that frequency.
Does your local PD/FD/DPW use 173.8 for a tone or even the local airport Ops??
As to TSA - analog, strongly doubt as they have been P25 since going P25 on VHF
ALL TSA is full P25, and is now quickly becoming pure UHF, and 90% full time encryption. The only analog they will ever have is if they need to use a loaner radio to talk to airport operations or the like. Wonder who the old VHF net will go to, as the Feds are good at recycling/"sharing" stuff now. Maybe USFS will get the used VHF P25 stuff as they finally get to join the digital age?

Helped change over an entire airport's TSA yesterday, and one other the day before... removed all VHF equipment, put in the new UHF GTR cabinet, replaced antenna, did coverage testing, showed them how to use the key loaders, handed out new APX900s.
At the end they asked about the old stuff, old cabinet and radios are all asset tagged, I was working with an agent from HQ in VA,
He told them to do all the asset tagging write off stuff and toss it in the dumpster, cavities and all...
I wouldn't say the Feds are good at recycling stuff....
