Since Tuesday (6/21/05) I have been receiving a steady data-channel like buzz 
on 138.335 MHz. in the Mid-Hudson Valley area of New York. The scanner search 
stops on 138.335 or 138.340 Mhz. I'm guessing the correct frequency is 
138.3375 MHz. The buzz does not sound like the usual Motorola or EDACS trunked 
system control channels. I'm wondering if this could be related to the recently 
announced M-A/Com trunked system for the US Military Academy at West Point:

"The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York awarded M/A-COM a $1.2 
million contract for a VHF P25IP Trunked Land Mobile Radio system. This system 
will include a NetworkFirst Switching Center, a Interoperability Gateway and IP 
consoles, as well as turnkey services including system engineering, project 
management, installation, maintenance and training. The system is designed to 
provide radio frequency communications for over 1500 base support personnel."
