I'm in Bay Co Fl and I've been searching in 160-174 the past few days got these

169.9125 P25 Nac 100 ENC
171.0125 P25 Nac 293 Open
167.7875 P25 Nac 167 Open/ENC
163.2125 P25 Nac 100 ENC
165.9500 P25 Nac 100 ENC
169.8875 P25 Nac 156 ENC
167.4375 P25 Nac 167 ENC

NAC 167 is supposed to be FBI.
NAC 293 is a generic/default NAC. I think I've read that it's the equivalent of carrier squelch on an analog channel.

I don't know about NAC 100 or NAC 156.

NAC156 is used by the DEA.

As others have pointed out
$167 is generally the FBI - there are some exceptions
$156 is generally the DEA - there are some exceptions
$100 for your Area is generally ICE, altho 163.2125 $100 is IRS as is 165.9500

171.0125 $293 - likely from Biloxi - VA Police

Thanks you all! I wasn't too sure if FBI was using 156 or 167. On 171.0125 I did hear Biloxi and sounds like PD at a VA. Heard them run tags and comes back with person name and city.
I don't scan much on Federal Freq's much since its mostly Encrypted. I guess I'll scan more and make a list.

If I see any of these

$167 All FBI?
$156 All DEA?
$100 All ICE or Border patrol?

 

[ecps92]

$167 All FBI - LIKELY but there are other agencies who also use $167, only monitoring
along with knowing the Freq and if avail Radio ID would nail it.
$156 All DEA? - See above
$100 All ICE or Border patrol? - In your Neighborhood it is ICE or IRS - BP uses - $200 over in NOLA and your area

The VHF Map site I've been using that one for years. That day or two was no open bands at all. The VA Police had 4 bars day & night. I'll try to see if the FBI RID will come in since they are ENC and sometimes it's muted.

Are you sure about 169.8875, because 169.6625 N156 is part of the wide-area net that covers from Pensacola to Panama City.

 

[signal500]

NAC156 is used by the DEA.

100% correct. But down here on the Florida Panhandle, our N156 wide area repeater system has ATF UIDs currently using the system and not DEA UIDs. These same UIDs also appear on the local Pensacola ATF repeater 172.2875 N650.

Certainly possible that BATFE and DEA units have access to the same repeaters. Both are under the Department of Justice and my have overlapping investigations.
