[FedCom] 418.75 Active Recently

[Chris Parris]

That would be the DEA, of course, on their Channel 3, which is normally
conventional simplex. I've never run in to a repeater on DEA Channel 3 or 4
(418.675 MHz), but have run in to remote base station transmitters on these
frequencies in rural areas.

Some DEA offices have started using P-25 on all their frequencies, but many
areas continue to be analog.
