> Likely USPS Sorting/Processing Facility, many are commonly using DMRHe'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 foryears and years. Then they evidently felt the need to stimulate theeconomy 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 yourarea. (Yes, they DO come in handy.)> Screaming at the top of your lungs really doesn't help communications. No, but it lets people know it's important! > BTW I think the UHF band starts at 406MHz.406.1> Inspired by Tilde Bill I set my BC436HP for the federal bands> and did some band scanning. I have a PRO-197 I TRIED to use for 406 land mobile scanning, but thereverse image(s) (21.4 x 2) allows me to receive nothing but 460 MHz LMstuff. Pretty much useless.> I could have sworn if heard? guy mention ADSB, Probably some cool USPS lingo.Geo.______________________________________________________________FedCom mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/fedcomHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:FedCom at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
