[Scan-DC] Anyone know who uses 462.5000 [ d155]?

[Andrew Clegg]

After more listening, I think maintenance may be using D155, and 
housekeeping is using C156.7. Note sure about this. I realized I didn't 
confirm the tones, so I listened some more, this time with tone search 
active. There was definitely a maintenance call with D155, and a 
housekeeping call on C156.7. Can't be absolutely sure they were the same 
facility/licensee, though. I'll listen some more.

Affirm.  Riderwood Village is a retirement community on the Montgomery/PG 
County line off Cherry Hill Road near Calverton and Maryland Farms.  (My 
folks moved there about 4 years ago - Dad died a year ago but Mom still 
lives there - in fact, I've just come from there.)  The street name is 
Gracefield Road.  There are 15 or 20 apartment buildings there and they all 
have names like King's Court, Calvert Landing etc... there are 4 "clubhouse" 
type buildings there where the dining rooms are located, Montgomery Station, 
Village Square, Town Center and I forget the other one... the addresses run 
from 3110 to 3160 or something like that.  Only two of the buildings are 
actually in Montgomery County but the whole place carries a Silver Spring MD 
address.  They have 3 frequencies... 452.5, 462.225, and
462.5.  The first is used by their Security and there's also a cab company 
(I forget which one) on that one, the second is maintenance I think, and the 
3rd is housekeeping.  About 3000 people live there.
