[FedCom] Follow-Up: Monitoring Status

[Ken]

Finally some frequency information!!!! :)  Thanks!

I've always found DEA in my area to run encrypted.   FBI sometimes runs 
encrypted, sometimes not, generally the non encrypted is basic admin items 
(e.g. mobile on air status).  BATFE (see new name on their website), can't 
recall monitoring anything on their frequencies but about year ago they were 
on the local law enforcement coordination net (155.475 interfaces for 
simucast with 460.225 & an 800 mhz band freq -- so they probably were using 
the VHF highband side).

There are always the possibility of exceptions to what I monitor, so the 
freqs remain in the scanner (see list archives for the freqs active in my 
area).
