[FedCom] 173.xxx mHz

[Hunter]

Here in Cincinnati OH, for about 5 years now, they have been using:

173.100 with an input of 162.7375 - which I think is A1
173.150 with an input of 162.7625 - which I think is A2


Dayton OH uses:

173.175 with an input of 167.4875 or 170.900 or something else, don't know.


Covington KY (Crestview Hills, under the Louisville KY office) uses:

173.125 never have found the input, not too much traffic.


OCDETF Also covers the tri state area, and is sometimes used by local PD's
                  for task force investigations, just what it was designed
for.

164.550 with an input of 168.8625 which I think is D1, & D2 simplex
(talkaround)

All the above are DVP all of the time, unless someone has lost the code or
has the wrong code,
then you may hear some very short transmissions. When using DVP there seems
not to be any
kind of PL or DPL.

Anyone know if they may be changing to the 173's on a national basis?
The OH and KY offices report to different regional offices.

On another note, 165.375 with 166.400 in 103.5 PL,
Secret Service "Charlie" has seemed to have gone to ASTRO about a year ago.
They used to be plain text, and only use DVP when the Pres or VP is in town.
Then they seem not to use the repeater, just talkaround, and some other of
their
simplex channels.
