Customs Re: [FedCom] 169.45 Activity?

[Chris Parris]

To elaborate on JER1538A at aol.com's response, 169.4500 MHz is Customs &
Border Protection NET 2 (input is 171.0750 MHz) or TAC 2 simplex.

This frequency was once referred to as the ALLIANCE frequency, as it was
originally set up for a cooperative effort between Customs and the ATF, if
I recall. Both agencies had it in their respective radios, but I have only
hear Customs use it for years. I have heard it in use all over the US, but
it first seemed to make it's appearance around the Gulf states, probably
back in the 80's...

Well thank you..  Now I'd guess they must have a remote base here in the 
Springfield MA area...
