[FedCom] New Fed P25 sys: FBI? DPL?

[*Bill]

Appears the 163.7500 might be in Boston and using a
CSQ input, due to the interference in the monrings.

Maybe the input is the old Immigration freq of 162.9500

Someone posted to me privately they heard "Sector" being called
which would be logical since Immigration is merged with Customs
as ICE [Immigration & Customs Enforcement]

Was it Sector or Central?   Maybe Both?  Use Central as a
Back-up for Sector in Orlando?
