[Scan-DC] Verizon Center frequencies

[David Schoenberger]

161.0250 is definitely Metro's paging frequency.  It's originating
from Metro's headquarters, which is right across the street from the
Verizon Center.  The signal is quite strong, so it sets off Close Call
from even inside Verizon.

Verizon Center's primary frequencies (the ones in the low 461.xxxx
range--not the two you found) switched to MOTOTRBO digital several
months ago.  That's why you didn't hear anything out of them.

Do you happen to have PL/DPL tones for 461.5125 and 461.8125?

Thanks,
Dave
