[FedCom] BICE Nets

[Ben Russell]

Does anyone know how the BICE net channels are assigned?  According to the list
published in MT a few months back, there are a total of 31 individual
frequencies that are either a Net repeater output or simplex Tac channel.  

Locally (Philly metro area), I only copy traffic on two of these frequencies,
165.2375 and 165.4625.  They both appear to be repeater traffic, although most
of the time, I only hear OTAR on the 4625 freq.  Traffic on the other frequency
varies quie a bit and was pretty interesting in the last week.

One frequency listed as a BICE repeater output is 165.4375.  Locally, this is
used by Valley Forge National Historical Park Rangers (P25 digital).  So, I am
assuming that the published list is not a nationwide BICE allocation?

Anyone have more insight?  I'm asking because I have, of course, limited space
in the scanner and I am trying to maximize listening pleasure by reducing the
amount of seldomly used frequencies in my scanner (I need more room for other
fed freqs and freqs for the local NAS).

Thanks for any help.
