> 155.475, referred to up here as NationWide Car to Car (NWCC) is used as 
> a simplex back-up "B.S." channel to the Maine law enforcement common 
> simplex freq of StateWide Car to Car (SWCC).
> 
> Regarding the Federal Protective Service, the 417.200 link system is 
> quite extensive, down into the lower reaches of New England. The 
> "Control" transmissions are invariably P25 "in the clear", but the 
> individual "unit" responses and check-ins are encrypted P25. A strapping 
> signal can be heard along the I-95 corridor, with references to southern 
> New England areas.
