Dave, nice list.  

While travelling from the Quakertown area south to the Norristown area for work
yesterday, I caught fome FBI activity.  Ops were analog clear and encrypted.  I
heard the traffic on two repeater outputs simultaneously.  I think this was
just mentioned here earlier in the week?  The outputs were 168.725 and 168.425.
 The 725 repeater came in clear when I was closer to Quakertown and Lansdale
and was broken down around Plymouth Meeting.  At home (about 6 miles SSW of the
Plymouth Meeting Mall), I coul hear only the 425 repeater.

Also, while heading south on the turnpike, I caught a single P25 clear comm on
167.165 which I have listed as BATF Tac 1.  I know that is rounded.  Forgive
me, but it is early and my brain isn't working yet.  I guess that should be
167.1625?

VFNP Rangers are now dispatched by Montgomery Co. (58-xx units on SE Dispatch)
on the Montgomery Co. trunked system and use their VHF channel as a car to car
chit chat.  The main VHF freq is still 165.4375 (P25).

Ben
