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

[David Schoenberger]

OK, it looks like it is Riderwood.  Thanks for all the help.
Andy, I think American Protective Services is using CTCSS 156.7.  (They have
another repeater on 452.0000 [156.7], which they use for security at the
Washingtonian Center.  From what I heard on 462.5000 [156.7], the repeater
"sounds" were very similar.)

Doug, do you have info on tones for the other two frequencies?

Thanks,
Dave
