[FedCom] 413.7 - NYC area // ZEBRA c/s

I looked on Radio Reference for a TRS in your general area, and it shows one for NYC
http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&sid=422
It lists 413.7 as part of that TRS, but not 415.05. This does not mean that 415.05 is not in fact
part of the TRS, nor 413.7 still part of the TRS. The last update for this database is in July,
and there may have been some changes with the freqs in that system.

415.05 is (or was recently) used by the US Postal Inspectors in the Atlanta area as a repeater
output for the NLECC (National Law Enforcement Communications Center), along with 414.75, 415.825,
and 416.775, all using 74.4 PL. I have not monitored those freqs in a few months, but I do
remember hearing simular type comms with IDA and SAM. I think the IDA are Postal Inspectors, but
not sure about SAM, maybe investigative types. 

Your last 3 numbers may be the mileage truncated, for like the ending mileage when the full
starting mileage was already given. 

Not sure if this gives any help or not, but just some info from another part of the world.
