[Scan-DC] TG 16688 = ICC?

[Doug Kitchener]

PS, I can't remember the designation / callsign the base station was using...

Not much coming in here in the "radio quiet zone" - 

Update, I had the attenuator on - duuh - things are coming in better now that I've turned it off.  Am almost certain that this is ICC radio traffic, just heard a unit make a traffic stop at "milepost (something point something").  Heard similar traffic earlier and the milepost numbers jive with those on the road.  Sometimes they just call out using the mile marker number but without saying "milepost", i.e. "Traffic stop 6.9 westbound, Maryland tag WFC-803)

Think the base station is called "Communications"... and I think they are using the same 10-codes that MSP uses.


Just heard a transmission about "a news crew setting up in the closed-off area near Georgia Avenue"... again, pretty certain that this is ICC radio traffic.

> Those of you in or near Montgomery County with 800 MHz digital trunking receivers, please (program and) take a listen to talkgroup 16688 on the Montgomery County system and see what you think - I heard a lot of activity earlier, and I suspect this may be the (until now!) elusive ICC talkgroup.  It is currently labeled as Rockville Local Government 1... As soon as the bosses leave here for the day, I'll settle in for the evening shift and will be monitoring it, but I think I heard callsigns such as "I-6", "I-7", and "Motor I-9", a unit making a traffic stop ("Welcome to the ICC, here are your Green Stamps!"  No, I didn't hear _that_!), and some talk about "zones".
