[Scan-DC] Interesting Park Police Comm

[Lepine, Paul]

Yes, I'm familiar with Interoperability...just rare to hear it being used in 
this way...It wasn't on an I-Call or anything like that, and the Park Police 
and FBI both operate in the Federal Band, not 800mhz that I am aware of...It 
was direct on their frequency....

What other direct access freq's do you think the FBI might have on their 
radios?  Montgomery County Police? Fairfax County Police?  Just Federal 
Agencies?

If anyone is going to the up-coming Homeland Security show, hosted by Ffx Co 
I believe, perhaps they can take a look in one of their cars and report back 
(yes, I know the comm van will have everything)?

and you can find Park Police as well as other federal frequencies here:
