[Scan-DC] News organization feed frequencies

[Ed Tobias]

I'll be listening to: 1) MPDC SOD which, I believe, operates on their CMD-2 
talk group.  MPDC also has several special event talk groups, SE1, SE1A, 
SE2, etc., one or more of which may be used.  2) The Capitol Hill PD 
frequencies: 169.225 (inside dispatch), 165.5375 (outside dispatch), 170.175 
(tac), 165.25 (command), 162.6125 (spec. ops).  All of these were active 
during the Reagan funeral.  3) U.S. Park: 166.925 (dispatch), 166.725 
(primary tac), 167.075 (tac), 166.85 (tac).

All of the conventional VHF frequencies were, at my last listen, in the 
clear.

Doug -  You'll need to set up your trunked radio to receive MPDC's system, 
which is a Motorola Astro 3600 system.  It's different from the system used 
by Montgo. County.  Unfortunately, I can tell you how to do it for a Pro-96 
but have no idea how to do it for your rig.
