[FedCom] New Federal Channels and the GRE PSR-500 166.250 and 170.150

[J&D Schnoor]

Yes, I did remove both of those and they are both used locally in 
Minneapolis/Saint Paul Minnesota area.  KSTP has 166.250 and WCCO has 
170.150.  During my entire workday today I only heard three P25 conventional 
frequencies active.  They were TSA, VA Hospital, and FPS.  I did notice, 
however, that my GRE PSR-500 does not seem to scan all that fast.  I timed 
it and it took something 75 seconds to go through all of the frequencies 
that I had programmed.  When I did the math it came out to about 25 channels 
per second.  Since I had the frequencies in ascending order, I actually 
thought it mat have had a faster scan speed.  Anyway, considering the scan 
speed and the number of frequencies that I was going through, I could have 
easily missed other traffic that just happened to be active, but was missed. 
I might try switching to the AUTO mode tomorrow to see how much analog 
traffic there still is in the federal bands.
