All of the above...

I would suspect that the US Secret Service will be the primary protective
agency on this get together, but Department of State Diplomatic Security
Service may well be involved also. I would be very surprised if Putin didn't
have his own security contingent, and they could be using about anything as
far as radios or frequencies. I have encountered foreign security services
using 452 MHz business frequencies, 160 MHz railroad frequencies and others.
Sometimes they get coordinated, sometimes they don't.

Loren, looks like you will have to do some searching and keep us posted!
