[FedCom] 162.775 NAC A1A

[Gary]

I did hear what was obvious training on FBI freqs. But not in decades. IIRC, it was simplex. They were on Mt. Tamalpais. 

To this day I remember one part of the conversation. There was a need for someone from the park to open a gate. But if that person could not be found, the combination is day month year or something like that. We'll at least the combo is changed daily. 

Yesterday I noticed a lock in a park left in the unlocked state. Four digits combo type with thumbwheels. Yeah you  guessed it: 2018

Sorry to hear about Al.

When I worked with ( not for ) the FBI years ago they went 100% 
encrypted and it was always a panic at the first of the month to update 
every radio.  This was in the mid 1980's if I remember correctly.  I 
believe they were the first federal agency to go 100%.
