[FedCom] 409.1MHz SF Bay Area

He's right.
Probably a 95% chance.

It's probably in the phone book, if you have one.
Drive by it and try with no antenna.

Here at PDX they have an Airport Mail Facility which used 169.65 for
years and years. Then they evidently felt the need to stimulate the
economy a few years ago now and got new DMR radios on 406.1375.

There's a brand new sorting facility about a mile or two from the AMF,
but I haven't bothered to search for a freq. for them.
I should do that.

Anyway, they are different. See what's listed in your phone book for your
area. (Yes, they DO come in handy.)

No, but it lets people know it's important!

406.1

I have a PRO-197 I TRIED to use for 406 land mobile scanning, but the
reverse image(s) (21.4 x 2) allows me to receive nothing but 460 MHz LM
stuff. Pretty much useless.

Probably some cool USPS lingo.
