[FEDCOM] DEA Confusion

[Arthur-Bryan E. Phelps]

I want to sincerely thank all of you who responded to my recent post for the
DEA frequencies used jointly in Philadelphia and Allentown, PA.  However, I
have some conflicts that I are confusing me (not a difficult task).

 

416.0500 was given as DEA Ops. F-1 and 418.6250 was given as DEA CH 1.
Also, 418.6250 has been previously posted and programmed as a BATF/DEA
Interop frequency.

418.7500 was given as CH 3 and also as a BATF/DEA interop frequency.

 

Can any kind colleague clarify this for me?  Recently, in Allentown I
monitored substantial communications in the clear on 418.6250.  To me it did
sound like two different fed entities based on the sound quality. The
operation ended with the DEA agent saying: "I'm switching back to 1" (F-1 or
CH 1?)
