Unidentified Fed Trunk System

That un id'd trunksystem that is totally encrypted in the DC area that has 20 frequencies in the 406 mhz band. Today i learned who is one the users of the new trunk system. The US Capitol Police has switched over to the new system, Confirmation was done by talking to one of the US Cap Police Officer while delivering equipment for the Inaugeration Ceremonies today. So if you haven't been hearing much on there vhf frequencies that is why.

I just heard some traffic on their channel 1 [169.225], but I've pretty much been expecting Capitol Police & US Park Police to go trunked &/or digital &/or encrypted any day now. It's possible a lot will change between now and the inauguration.

Just copied Capital P.D. on Ch 1 and 4 and Im still hearing MDC when they key up so its not a simulcast of a trunked system. So they must not have switched just yet.

I guess they all havenb't switched yet but the 165.5375 has been silent pretty much lately
