> Any new P-25 federal channels showing up in your areas?

Here in DFW:

164.650    USSS Dallas local FO "Tango"
165.375    USSS Dallas local FO "Charlie"
167.900    USSS Dallas local FO "Dallas X-Ray"
172.900    TSA Love Field (haven't heard any DFW 
                Int'l traffic yet)
165.950    Radio testing (believed to be IRS CID)
163.625    INS (confirmed from another source)
163.725    INS (confirmed from another source)
406.6625  Federal Reserve Bank security
410.4875  Radio testing (unknown) - at times I also 
                get an open carrier and a DCS tone of
                205 on this frequency.

So far, I have not heard any P25 transmissions 
from FBI. I know they run almost 99% DES here, 
and I have a tone capable scanner so it locks all 
that crap out. Surprisingly though, surveillances 
are oftentimes conducted in the clear.If they did 
start transmitting or testing P25 I might not know it
though with the 167.9 tone enabled on my scanner.

I'd love to have a confirmed channel list for the FBI 
here if anyone has one. I have some channels, but
not the full picture, so to speak. I'm primarily concerned 
with the Dallas regional FO, Ft Worth RA, Plano RA,
DFW Arpt RA, and their associated main and
surveillance/SOG channels.
