[Scan-DC] Arlington County Signals

[KD4IIW at comcast.net]

I believe they have adopted the Commonwealth's new Interopabilty Radio codes. 

Signal 1 is Officer in Immediate/Life Threatening Trouble
Signal 2 is Requesting Backup Non emergnency 
Signal 3 is Taking Subject into Custody
Signal 4 is Relaying Sensitive or Confidential Information

> Signal 2: Backup (similar to the old 10-94) 
> Signal 3: DUI (similar to old 10-55) 
> Signal 4: Confidential Info (similar to the old 10-5) 
> Signal 100: SWAT(?)
