[Scan-DC] Montgomery County Public Schools Frequencies

[Eric C. Carlson]

Just to clarify (I was confused at first glance), the 464.725 and
469.725 William lists below are just the repeater pair for Watkins Mill
HS, which he also lists again further down.  So far as I'm aware,
Ch.1-464.375 and Ch.2-464.55 remain the "universal" simplex channels in
use at MCPS schools (excepting the high schools with repeaters).  All of
their radios I've seen in the past have been 2-channel capable.
