This might be a clue as to where the IRS went, I work at the Phila IRS
service center, it is my understanding is that the IRS in an effort to sa=

I think the original question was concerning the IRS Criminal Enforcement=

Division, not the security guards...

My guess is that the Treasury Department, as well as the Justice
Department, are in the midst of re-organizing a lot of their communicatio=

cities these days, but always seems to be encrypted.  Lots of stuff
changing in the federal bands these days, for sure...

I never have quite understood why the IRS CID went to UHF repeaters when
most of the other IRS divisions were using VHF, although years ago we oft=

heard IRS units sometimes pop up on the DEA frequencies.
