[Scan-DC] Fort Detrick Radio System Jams Remote Garage Doors

[Gary Mitchelson - N3JPU]

There is yet another P25 control channel up in the 380MHz band on 380.275.
The others in the band transmit a Manufacturer ID of 90, this one is using
00 which is a reserved ID. If it was M/A-COM it should be an A4. The WACN of
this new one is 580A0.

This might be Detrick's system, someone closer than me can take a listen to
see if it stronger up there than down here by DC.

Fort Detrick Radio System Jams Remote Garage Doors

Updated: Sunday, Feb. 27, 2005 - 2:47 PM

FREDERICK, Md. - A new radio system at Fort Detrick will improve
communication with the Pentagon. The downside: some people may have to open
their garage doors the old-fashioned way.

The Land Mobile Radio system will allow Fort Detrick and 10 other Army
installations in the Washington region to communicate with the Pentagon and
civilian emergency personnel by hand-held radios.

In a suburban sacrifice to emergency preparedness, Frederick residents could
experience a rash of dead door openers in coming days, as the Army's Fort
Detrick begins using a new radio system linking local and federal government
emergency personnel.
