[FedCom] FEDCOM in Rural areas

[~Bill]

Friendly reminder to ALL, use REPLY ALL, otherwise the reply only goes to the OP and not the Group

 

Most (98%) of Law Enforcement (Federal) is P25

Analog for some, USPS, NPS, USFS

 

I would urge, you to SEARCH vs obtaining someones possible STALE list, and/or miss out on something not listed

 

Only YOU are going to know what is around/can be heard in your own neighborhood.

Thanks for the comeback, Bill. I monitor the Bombing Range when I hear the jets fly over. I haven't heard much Federal traffic. Given the demographics of my area INS and DEA would be my best bets. Are the frequencies these agencies use analog? I know they have a digital PL. I have a BCD325P2. I program the frequencies in as analog. Am I programming my radio wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if you have any Federal frequencies for my area, I would appreciate it if you could send them to me. Thanks for the help. Be safe.

D not knowing where you are, hard to make comments/assumptions, however I’ve seen rural areas that folks say there is none/has been none and yet when I travel, I’ve found activity.

 

a.       Have you searched ALL the Federal activity bands ?

a.       138-144

b.      148-150.8

c.       162-174

d.      380-400

e.      400-420

f.        And let us not forget the forgotten Low Band, which still lives

 

 

Just looking over my notes, you have multiple CBP/ICE/HSI and BP sites around you

 

a.       Fort Drum

b.      Lake Placid

c.       Myakka (last visit this tower no longer existed, unless rebuilt)

d.      And you have the Avon Park Bombing range

Greetings to the group, I live in a rural area since I retired, so I don't get much Federal traffic. I have monitored this list for a long time and will continue to monitor and if I hear anything in my area I will post it. 

Thank you for letting me be a part of this group.

In our Region this has been historically $167 for the FBI primarily (Newark Repeater), but some simplex using $293 only (Boston FO - security)

Nothing else till you get down to DC

 

One/same RID changing NAC's is an odd occurrence, pointing me back to strong RF overload or a weak signal
