[FedCom] Re: Unknown Frequencies (J Doe) - Is that your real name?

[Michael W. Scheel]

Several years ago I was told a reason for the switch. With digital 
encrytion they could not select a site like with analog voice with 
CTCSS. So you would have different outputs with the same input so now 
when they select a site it is the output channel they are selecting. I 
do consider the person who told me that to be an expert in Federal 
Monitoring.

I have not heard clear voice on FBI or USMS channels in years except 
when the local state-federal Task Force is busy.

169.875 R (163.8625m)

The brand new ones in the 170s probably have even wider spacing.  I expect they're awash in "Homeland Security" $$$ and don't know what to do with it all.  They'll put in all the new repeaters and then still use cellphones instead.
