Arthur,

I am sure as long as you have been on this list you would have found your 
Bill or Gill by now. You are are the only one in your area, and the rest of 
us on the list are looking for you to provide some input. There are a couple 
of real good reasons we are looking for your input.

Even when the government files were in the public domain the FBI assignments 
(and other LE functions ATF, USSS, IRS Customs etc) were not part of that 
package that was released and withheld from the public.

What fed LE frequency information that has been put together has been by 
monitoring of many diligent monitors over the years. There is NO LE fed freq 
list for an area for any of these agencies unless someone in that area puts 
it together.

Also given the fact that we are literally a couple of years, months or maybe 
even days away from the Justice and Treasury Intergrated Wireless Network 
(TIWN and JIWN) coming online nationwide, every list out there for most all 
the fed LE agencies will become obsolete and we will all be forced to 
conduct routine searches with P25 capable scanners in the 162-174 MHz range 
using 12.5 MHz steps.

Bottom line Arthur, if you don't turn your scanner on in the search mode, 
you aren't going to get ANY accurate info for the LeHigh valley. I would 
take at least one of those scanners from your mobile and put it in the house 
and start searching for the new JIWN frequencies that will obsolete 
everybodys list soon.

73 to all and good hunting,
