[FEDCOM] DHS

[Arthur-Bryan E. Phelps]

Well, I guess that is the price you pay when you compromise an issue.  It
would be great if the "P" showed up on the Uniden scanner even if no sound
came through because a PL was programmed.  That would be a good tip-off that
the PL or DPL wasn't needed.  I really thank all of you at MT for being
"there" for all of us.  I know this will be come as no surprise to you, but
the "crap" many of us find on the internet varies from complete nonsense to
outdated material. I happened to visit a site in LA that gives the complete
frequency schematics for the FBI.  I cannot even get a workable frequency
for Philadelphia, PA or Allentown (where I reside).  I know ROAMER is out
there but FBI frequencies from California, Chicago and Montana aren't even a
good start.  Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do any searching.  I
retired 3-1/2 yrs. ago to serve as primary care-giver for my then, 4 month
old grandson, mother and disabled mother-in-law.  My mother passed away last
Wednesday. I don't have much spare time for anything except for using the
computer quickly several times a day.  Well, take care and again thank you.

If I put in "none" then if I understand your response, I should receive P25
and perhaps some junk.
<<<
Yes, you have use "FM" mode on the Radio Shack scanners and NONE on the
Uniden scanners. Unfortunately you may hear some junk, but that's life.

>>>
I was sent a list of DHS Radio Net 1 frequencies.  Do they use all these
frequencies or are they assigned regionally?
<<<
I believe that all of the NET frequencies are programmed in the DHS radios,
but only certain ones are used depending on what repeaters they have set up
in what areas. While there is certainly the possibility that any of the NET
frequencies might be used, in everyday life, they may have 3 or 4 that are
most active in any area. But also note that many of the NET repeater output
frequencies also are in the radios as simplex TAC frequencies. For example,
NET 35, with a repeater out of 163.1250 MHz is also in the radio as TAC 7
as a simplex channel. So it might pay to keep the whole list in the radio,
if you have the space.
