[FedCom] Troops Deploy to Border Areas

[Chris Parris]

National Guard troops are beginning their deployment along the US- 
Mexico border. Troops will be deployed in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona  
and California to help support the Border Patrol with border security.

Monitors along the border areas can check for additional frequencies  
that might be in use by the National Guard troops. I have heard that  
some troops have received training in the use of the DHS CBP digital  
radios prior to being deployed. Previous troop deployments to the  
border areas in Texas have included some additional antennas being  
installed at the Border Patrol checkpoints along major highways. The  
old checkpoint near Laredo, Texas had what appeared to be a military  
style VHF low-band antennas, most likely for the National Guard  
SINCGARS radios, operating from 30-88 MHz.
