listening to San Luis Obispo City FD on scanner feed

yesterday - in san luis obispo county in southern california

seemed to be just one channel on the scanner feed - it seemed to be
the main channel - calls were paged out on the channel - and units
went to the calls on this channel - and the IC on the brush fire
talked to "City Fire" (the dispatcher) on this channel - mutual aid
coverage units talked to the dispatcher on this channel also

the channel was typically called "City Net"

field units heard were - Battalion 1 - Truck 1 - Medic Rescue 1 -
Engine 62 aka CDF Engine 62 (maybe a cal fire or county engine) -
Engine 5 (a spare engine staffed by offduty FD members) - Engine 6
(also a spare engine staffed by offduty member) - Engine 20 (maybe a
calfire engine) - one OES unit was also heard

all comms seemed to be via a repeater (FB2) - and all comms were loud and clear

Swansea Mass - ambulance receives no town funds

https://www.swanamb.com/donations/

this is very unusual for Massachusetts afaik - most towns and cities

contracts with private ambulance companies that do not ostensibly
require any municipal funding - but at the end of the day: the money
has to come from somewhere

Hurricane Otis blew up rapidly

https://apnews.com/article/hurricane-otis-mexico-acapulco-8daa7fcfa6d538ae2ca672fe54a31519

"On Tuesday, Otis took many by surprise when it rapidly strengthened
from a tropical storm to a powerful Category 5 as it tore along the
coast. Researchers tracking the storm told The Associated Press that
the storm broke records for how quickly it intensified, at a time when
climate change has exacerbated devastating weather events like this
one.

"It's one thing to have a Category 5 hurricane make landfall somewhere
when you're expecting it or expecting a strong hurricane, but to have
it happen when you're not expecting anything to happen is truly a
nightmare," said Brian McNoldy, a hurricane researcher at the
University of Miami."

many schools have been receiving FCC radio licenses

in the past 5 years many elementary and high schools have received FCC
radio licenses for security / admin campus type radio systems -
typically they are lower powered repeaters in the VHF or UHF ranges

many schools also have legacy radio systems for school buses

seldom have these local school systems used statewide TRS

in addition - there has been an explosion in the package delivery
system in the usa over the last 5 to 10 years - and a huge shift in
taxi service to on call ride share systems

what is the impact of these systems on public safety radio systems?
whats the game plan? will they all move to FirstNet at some point? if
so - why so? if not - why not?

pretty sure we have talked about this before - does it make sense for
every school, taxi, bus, train, van, cop car, fire truck, ambulance,
helo, plow, ship, factory, highrise, apartment building, nursing home,
library, etc, and plane to operate on different radio systems?

Re: san diego fd radio comms

when calls are announced by the computer voice - just the 'units
assigned' and the 'talkgroups assigned' are repeated twice -
everything else is just announced once

san diego fd radio comms

heard today via broadcastify

think we heard an interstate call go out as between XX onramp and XX offramp

structure fire went out for 2 BC + 4 Engines + 2 trucks - turned out
to be unattended food - all units were cancelled except Engine 21 and
Truck 21 - aka balance of assignment was cancelled - this incident was
assigned TGs 9 Delta / 9 Echo

building fire call - at the end at 847 am edt - engine 35 and truck 35
and batt 5 picking up - command turned over to engine ?31?

building fire - "IC" - "Fire Attack" - "Exposure Group" aka
"Exposures" - "Truck 35 Engineer" - 757 am edt signal went bad - 758
am edt "unreadable" - come to IC for face to face - (did sound kinda
digital - had nozzle flowing inside bld iirc - maybe a partial dead
spot also) - 807 am edt - some message cut off at end

highway accident call - "805 IC" - that is Interstate 805 probably -
"Medic 43" was given instructions to pull up beyond the car

calls are dispatched via computerized voice - ems calls get just one
engine - apparently ambulances are not dispatched by this computer
voice - apparently they are dispatched on some other system - or San
Diego does not send ambulances on initial responses - have heard about
6 ems calls so far and no ambulances were sent - just 1 engine was
sent to each call

most EMS calls get sent to TGs 7 Echo / 7 Foxtrot

San Diego FD added new talkgroup

https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/10294

feed notes

The feed set up being used is 2 SDR (software defined radio) usb
dongles connected to a mini computer.

The software being used is Trunk Recorder operate the SDR's.
Liquidsoap is used to upload the traffic to Broadcastify.

Trunk Recorder constantly monitors the control channel. When a
selected talk group is detected on the control channel the computer
tunes an SDR to the active channel. If more than one talk group
becomes acitve on the system, the SDR's and program are able to record
multiple converations at the same time. Once a transmission ends, a
audio recording is made. Then it is set to be uploaded. If multiple
files are recorded and need to be uploaded, they will uploaded in the
order they are recorded.

This allows for the listener to hear every transmission.

info from fcc psap registry

multi changes shown as of 10/2/2023

approx 65 PSAPs in NJ are now listed as Secondary PSAPs - not sure if
they were listed as 2ndary PSAPs before or not

multi PSAPs in texas are now listed as 2ndary PSAPs

update on PSAPs in Maine

looking at the October 3 2023 FCC PSAP Registry

we find that each county in Maine has a primary PSAP

- plus the following primary PSAPs exist

DPS Bangor (State Police)

Lewiston / Auburn

DPS CMRC at Augusta (State Police)

York PD

Westbrook PD

Scarborough PD

Sanford PD

Portland PD

DPS Houlton (for northern Maine)

Brunswick PD

Biddeford PD

- (there are no secondary PSAPs)

========================

all of those PD PSAPs are in southern Maine around Portland

we know that Sanford PD dispatches for approx 7 FDs

iirc Biddeford PD dispatches for Lyman FD

York PD might dispatch for Kittery FD and Ogunquit FD

not sure if the State Police still dispatch any local FDs - DPS Gray
dispatched for Cornish FD and Limington FD in the past - DPS Houlton
also dispatched some FDs in the past - DPS Augusta also (such as China
FD iirc)

Re: [sme2] updates at radio reference - boston area

looking thru our records - seems that the P25 is new for North Andover
- we had no record of North Andover PD using P25 before now

the other changes are probably documenting the use of partial encryption

updates at radio reference - boston area

4 PD listings have been updated - not sure what the actual changes to
the listings are

all of these show partial encryption now - maybe previously they did
not show any encryption

North Andover PD - 484.7875 R - NAC 683

Arlington PD - 471.1625 R - NAC 643

North Reading PD - 482.7375 R - NAC 664

Stoneham PD - 482.5375 R - NAC 438

we just heard Arlington PD talking one minute ago - neither the car
nor the dispatcher were encrypted

perhaps the 'partial encryption' indicates that both the dispatcher
and field units usually operate in the clear but have the option of
manually turning on encryption at their pleasure / leisure

this was the openmhz archive of the arrest on Special Events 3

- 7 minute video

- comms were mostly OK - some crackly - everyone did a radio check
indicating that they know that the radio system is weak and prone to
dropouts - and all of those radio checks might have been done with
mobile radios instead of portable radios - portable radio put out 5
watts - mobile radios might put out 35 watts - so the portable radios
would be more crackly than the mobile radios

================

background - primary police services in Maine are provided by -

1. local police (usually a city - maybe some larger towns also)

2. county sheriff - unincorporated areas - and many towns - maybe 1 or
2 smaller cities also

3. state police - cover the interstate - plus some towns and some
unincorporated areas - possibly this varies from county to county and
depends on how many staff the county sheriff has - maybe in some
locations state police is primary on even days and sheriff is primary
on odd days - or similar arrangements

typically cities and larger towns have their own local police radio
channel - each county has 1 primary countywide police channel (which
might handle traffic from state, county, and local units) - and the
state police have their own statewide 150 mhz trs (which also handles
state game wardens, state forestry, etc) - afaik there are no county
or local units that operate primarily on the state TRS

the 911 system typically has PSAPs in the county seats and in the
cities - not sure if the state police operate any primary PSAPs or not
- they might be the PSAPs for cellphones - but iirc state police only
have 2 dispatch centers to cover the entire state (Augusta and Bangor)

the state police might be 2ndary PSAPs for some cities - which might
explain why State Police / DPS received phone calls about the Lewiston
incidents

the upshot of all of this is - there are 2 primary 24/7 police
response systems in Maine - one run by the State (mostly for the rural
areas and the Interstate) - and one run by the counties and cities
(covering both urban and rural areas) - and this is reflected in the
response time info given in this press conference

Maine does have some wilderness areas where it might take several
hours for any type of armed police officer to arrive at an incident

if you find a perps car during a manhunt - what do you do?

1. walk right up and look in the window
2. wait for a swat team to walk up and look in the window
3. hire a local chihuahua to check out the car for live peoples
4. get a tracking dog - put up a lockdown perimeter - get a helo or
drone in the air

what actually happened?

if all of the cops and fbi in maine are corrupt - would they let a
right wing racist mass murderer get away?

the victim was possibly lying in a blizzard for 6 hours with multiple

the fbi and doj are maybe working overtime to bury this case because
it will destroy the justice system in Massachusetts if it is fully
exposed

info about oxford county maine fire feed

https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/41681

154.07 repeaters

each call is paged at least twice - first on the closest repeater -
one tone set plus 1 announcement with address and type of issue and
departments assigned - then repeated once on the 2nd closest repeater

some of the repeaters are heard very scratchy via the feed

fryeburg fire and rescue are dispatched by oxford county rcc - each
has their own tone sets - both seem to respond on 154.07R

base stations ("Fryeburg Fire Base" etc) seem to acknowledge all calls
within 1 minute but they dont take over radio comms it seems - all
response comms occur between field units and "RCC"

"RCC" is the county dispatcher

oxford sends engine 6 and an ambulance to ems calls - they request an
"inhouse medic" sometimes - if no one answers, they request a medic
from PACE (which is the als unit in norway maine it seems)

ambulance take patients to stephens and to bridgeton

also heard bethel rescue get paged for a call in upton on request of
errol nh rescue - they were cancelled in 5 minutes - that would have
been a 30 minute ride at least

3 digit ID numbers are used by some field units - there seems to be a
countywide numbering scheme - some other units heard were 'fryeburg
fire 2' etc

unique japan ladder truck

look at buildings and overhead obstructions in the area

"Tana Chemical, which is participating in a general fire that occurred
in Chuo Ward, Kamimizo water tank, Midorigaoka high place vehicle
convoy"

tana station 'chemical' engine + kamimizo station engine + midorigaoka
station ladder

we are pretty sure that the 'chemical engine' is the same as a 'normal
engine' ('water tank') except it might have some foam and dry
chemical and some hazmat gear - it is responding to a normal building
fire - so that kinda confirms our assumption

'sagamihara' is the city or area in japan

Defiance County OH wants a new fire sta

https://www.13abc.com/2023/10/25/defiance-co-commissioners-looking-raise-funds-new-fire-station/

if you cant come up with $2,000 - ?????

=======================

DEFIANCE Co., Ohio (WTVG) - The Defiance County Commissioners are
working to find alternative ways to fund a new fire station in the
Ney-Washington Township area.

The current fire station in the area is 125 years old and is too small
for modern fire trucks.

Voters already approved a levy to fund a new building but according to
township trustees, construction costs have jumped by $2,000.

The president of the Defiance County Commissioners said they are
currently looking to see if state bond funding would be available to
cover the gap in costs for the station.

56:10 - did he say that karen read killed john o'keefe by accident? or
did he say that she got randomly framed by accident? what did he say?
what did he mean to say?

keywords - canton mass police corruption law enforcement corruption

the turtleboy arrest - very weird situation

https://www.youtube.com/live/-fo9yS70gXk?si=C6ecN0T0pWCZZyVQ - this
video delves into the situation

let me try to explain it in a couple of sentences

1. detective bukake (not real name) goes into bathroom at courthouse

2. turtleboy goes into same bathroom

3. nothing was said or maybe something was said between the two - no
one else was there apparently

4. bukakke leaves bathroom

5. turtleboy whips out cellphone and fakes a question to bukakke

6. later turtleboy posts the fake video all over the internet

7. norfolk county DA goes to a judge and gets a warrant based on the
video - the charge is invasion of privacy or illegal recording or some
such thing

8. turtleboy gets arrested

9. now turtleboy claims he trolled bukakke and the norfolk county DA
with a fake video causing them to illegally arrest him

=========================

question - if bukkake saw he was being filmed in the bathroom by
turtleboy - and if bukake saw that he was being filmed while being
asked a question or whatever - wouldnt bukake immediately have
arrested turtleboy? wouldnt have bukkake at least have yelled at
turtleboy or told the court officer who was sitting right outside the
bathroom?

so if bukake never had any inkling that he was being filmed in the
bathroom - why did the norfolk county DA go to the judge and get a
warrant? didnt anyone ask bukakke if the incident actually happened?

(yup - spending way too much time on this) (but it is related to
openness and transparency and police corruption and governmental
oversight etc)

nothing about this makes much sense

the 700 feet of 2.5 inch lines can be laid from fire to hydrant

dont think they have much pressure in the hydrants so maybe they
always have to put a engine on a hydrant - iirc each and every street

listened to wash dc interops channels today

there is a mutual aid feed at broadcastify - it includes the RINS
channels and 154.28 and 154.295

from 10 am to 10 pm today - traffic heard was -

various county fire dispatchers alerting each to mutual aid calls -
Howard County MD - Prince Georges County MD - Franklin County PA -
Adams County PA - etc - probably was on 154.28

this seems to be a scanning receiver - one conversation started as
strong and then went to 75% noise - we suspect the comms were on
154.28 but the scanner then hopped to 154.295 and received the message
on the wrong channel (via FM adjacent channel bleedover)

nothing else was heard except for a couple of short data bursts

no virginia FDs were heard - didnt they have a NOVA (northern
Virginia) net? - was it on 154.265? or was it on 154.295?

this started with worcester paramedic 1 calling worcester cmed on the
"800" - cmed are you on 800? sounded like the dispatchers couldnt find
the button to answer him initially

the doctor might have told the medic to try a different tower or use a cellphone

comms didnt sound that bad to me - somulent male - cva 2 hours - yadda yadda

Cure then appears to have one hand on either the deputy's throat or
his mouth and the other on his back. The deputy Tased Cure a second
time and used a baton before pulling out the gun and firing one shot
into Cure's stomach. Cure hit the ground, and the deputy said "shots
fired!" over the radio and called for more officers. At least a dozen
paramedics and officers arrived on the highway shoulder within

minutes before they loaded him into an ambulance. In 2020 Cure was
released from a Florida prison after he was wrongfully convicted of
armed robbery in 2004. He was sentenced to life in prison, but
authorities reviewing his case in 2020 concluded he didn't commit the
crime. Cure was awarded $817,000 for his wrongful incarceration.

"So, the fact that they've set up command centers at these hospitals
just shows the brutality that they're willing to engage on, that
they're willing to use civilians as a way to mask their operations but
also to see them as casualties. That's not how we -- democracies are
going to -- or how the secretary in his conversations with Minister
Gallant, we have always emphasized that the -- that the law of war be
upheld."

turtleboy live last night - nearly 3 hour show

https://www.youtube.com/live/7V6X3YO3qbU?si=ver6FXJcMBYK1zD8

he had approx 3,000 viewers on YouTube

he went thru many of his old videos and highlighted where he called
for nonviolent protests

he read a press release from his new lawyer

no mention of his legal fund nor the 911 dispatcher

volunteers didnt work out too good - people did not go thru videos as
he had hoped - but they did provide transcripts

he said there is a lull in the Read case

he explained why he gave state police access to his cellphone - he
says he was coerced

he will fight scope of order against him and evidence found

maybe if you look at his blog it will give a short synopsis like this
post - that seems to be his usual method of operation - long videos
and shorter blog posts

question about canton mass karen reade john okeefe

question about canton mass karen reade john okeefe

morning after - 6 am ish - karen read drives from john okeefe house to
somewhere and picks up 2 people along the way - they arrive at 34
fairview road and karen read spots the body - afterwards: karen read
is asking 'did I hit him?"

john okeefe was missing - it was a blizzard - john okeefe was not
answering his cellphone apparently

there are more details in the court documents - if you believe any of
the statements

why didnt they call 911 immediately? especially since they were so
tight with all the cops

were they all survival experts? did they have experience conducting a
search in a blizzard?

was karen read experienced in driving in a blizzard when blackout
drunk? was she experienced in doing a SAR mission in a blizzard while
blackout drunk?

were they afraid that john okeefe had ODed? were they all drug addicts?

you can google turtleboy for more info but he might be just a maga grifter

washington dc area - public safety radio systems

mutual aid nets

851.?3625? - pmars - police mutual aid - dispatcher to dispatcher

154.295 - maybe - fire dispatcher to fire dispatcher

462.40 - wash dc hospitals - maybe old

RINS - 6 conventional 800 mhz repeater pairs for interops in the DC
area - unknown if ever used - unknown who controls them or how used

159.15 + 167.25 - DC IO 1 and 2 - interops in DC area - dispatcher to
dispatcher - more federal LE agencies and fewer local PD agencies than
PMARS

there was an old fema net for the washington metro area - maybe called
Channel G or something like that - maybe was 167.8875 or something
between 162 mhz and 174 mhz

there might be a newer fema net - unknown users

interops - vhf and uhf and 700 and 800 - shared nationwide

39.54 - maybe virginia police statewide net - maybe old

local government - police and fire etc - nearly everyone is on 800 mhz
trs - wash dc + arlington VA + alexandria VA + fairfax county va +
montgomery county md + prince george's County md + more

military bases - 380 mhz trs - but fort myer fd might be on the
alexandria va trs

federal blds and sites - either vhf or uhf

white house - vhf highband non trs

capitol pd - vhf trs

us park police - the mall etc - vhf highband non trs

hotels and office blds - mostly uhf - some of the larger venues have trs

us military troops - vhf low band plus uhf portable radios

virginia state police and state forestry use a vhf highband trs

maryland state police are moving from 39 mhz to a 700 TRS

medevac helos use a mishmash of channels

metro airports - 800 trs

metro transit - 800 trs + vhf highband

bottom line - when FirstNet (cellphones) takes over public safety
comms - millions of radio techs will lose their jobs

the craziest things - no selective calling on the mutual aid channels
+ no dedicated air to ground channels for police or fire or maybe even
medevac - unless they might use the new 700 mhz a/g channels - no
travel channels or unknown travel channels

day to day - most agencies use their agency channels day in and day
out - some fire units commonly use mutual aid channels when going into
nearby areas - but probably none of the radios are set up to cover
every trs in all of MD and VA - therefore the would be forced to use
the Utac and Itacs as travel channels (in theory) - (in reality they
would use their cellphones - or try to)

the bottom lines for all of this are not to hard to figure out - day
to day - have portable to dispatcher coverage everywhere in the home
city or home county - in adjacent areas - switch to adjacent TRS - for
long distance travel it would be nice to always have mobile to
dispatcher coverage at a minimum

how many sat phones do they have? does anyone keep track?

what radios do fbi use these days?

and "native" - LPS 2 and Areawide 4 - 64 testing with 46 - using
ATX7000 normalized audio - toggle back and forth to check audio - set

washington dc area specialty talkgroups

we checked broadcastify calls and openmhz for specialty talkgroups in
the washington dc area

Broadcastify Calls

- no feeds for Wash DC nor PG County MD
- montgomery county md does not have any fire mutual aid TGs
- arlington county va does not have fire aid either but it does have
TG 166 Fire / 3m IAD alert (airport fd onscene channel)
- fairfax county p25 feed has - DC IO1 + DC IO2 + PMARS + VA SIRS TG
1017 (which seems to just capture static)
- loudon county va trs - no fire aid but does have TG 166 fire / 3m
iad alert (airport fd onscene channel)
- va statewide feed has under 'ems dispatch' - TG 83 - dem / medflight
dispatch - and has 6 interops TGs also
- none of the maryland feeds have the fire mutual aid channel 154.28

openmhz does not have 154.28 on any feeds in va nor md - and has few
mutual aid channels

(regular broadcastify does have a new normal scanning feed for mutual
aid channels in the dc area - it includes 154.28 and 154.295 and more)

DC IO radio rollcalls

the washington DC area has 2 "IO" (interops) channels - called DC IO 1
and DC IO 2

listening at broadcastify calls we have confirmed that "FBI WFO" does
rollcalls weekly at 10 AM local on Wednesdays on DC IO 1 - [ and
monthly on the first wednesday on DC IO2 after the IO1 test ends ]

TG 1429 - DC Interop 1 / other - on Fairfax County P25 TRS
TG 1412 - DC IO2 - on the Fairfax County P25 TRS

stations called are -
ATF Washington Field Office
Bureau of Printing and Engraving

FBI SIOP (or maybe FBI TIOC)
FEMA
Federal Protective Service

Washington Metro Transit Authority
Metro Washington Airport Authority

DC IO2 was TG 1412 on the Fairfax County P25 TRS - heard via
Broadcastify Calls - some replys were encrypted (garbled noise via
feed)

these rollcalls are very similar to the PMARS rollcall - but there are
many more federal agencies - and fewer local agencies - on the DC IO1
and DC IO2 rollcalls

possibly the basic VHF repeater channels are - DC IO1 159.15R NAC 653
- DC IO2 167.25R NAC 68F - aka the '25 Cities Channels' - and many of
the local TRS have patches to these 2 channels

if someone could record an entire test and save it at the wayback
machine - that would be very nice

other means of communicating with adjacent counties could be -
satellite phones - cell phones - radios on adjacent counties radio

mass house approves gun law changes

nice long article by state house news service via lowell sun

https://www.lowellsun.com/2023/10/19/mass-house-approves-gun-law-changes-on-120-38-vote/

=====================================

They unanimously agreed to an amendment making clear that the bill
does not ban off-duty police officers from carrying firearms in
certain restricted spaces, so long as the weapon is provided by their
department. The legislation originally allowed only active, on-duty
police to wield guns in those locations.

Rep. Mark Cusack of Braintree, the Democrat who filed the amendment,
said it was meant "to clarify that off-duty active law enforcement
officers would be allowed to carry their department-issued firearms in
the following places … first, a place owned, leased or under the
control of state, county or municipal government and used for the
purpose of government administration, a location in use at the time of
possession as a polling place and for the storage or tabulation of
ballots, and third in elementary schools, secondary schools, college
or university, including transport used for the students."

================================


" The legislation became a top priority for representatives in the
Black and Latino Legislative Caucus, whose communities are
disproportionately affected by gun violence. In 2020, the
Massachusetts rate of firearm deaths among Black men was more than
four times as high as among white men. "

yup - thats what we had dug up a year or 2 ago

==================

Since July 1, Day said, the state has experienced 90 shootings that
killed 40 Bay Staters and injured 86 others.


===================

Rep. Michael Day, the Stoneham Democrat who authored the landmark bill
and a predecessor version, introduced the measure by rattling off a
long list of past gun restrictions policymakers approved dating back
to 1632, when the Massachusetts Bay Colony "prohibited individuals
from carrying loaded firearms without proper authorization."

will send a text message with a secure, one-time-use link that opens a
live stream direct from the phone to the Control Room. 999Eye provides
better situational awareness and allows us to offer the best advice
based on live footage. The Brigade was called at 0624 and the fire was
under control by 0729. Fire crews from Addington, Tooting, Purley,
Forest Hill and Bromley fire stations attended the scene. The cause of
the fire is under investigation."

london fire station mobilized

https://youtu.be/yYnKKhCLFPU?si=IiPzibHpXEEjJFj4

7 minutes in they get the call - 1 guy slides the pole - that is rare
to catch on video

fd did not want to allow filming in the station but still photos was OK

public relations - openness - auditing

they seemed to be delayed 30 seconds after all 4 doors on engine
closed - were they checking address? or waiting for air pressure to
build? why did they blast the siren? for the video?

note - london engines seem to have 4 man crews - previous video had a
4 man crew also - (maybe 5 - let me go back and double check)

Washington DC area radio systems

trying to get a handle on all the different radio systems in the
Washington DC area

https://www.radioreference.com/db/browse/ctid/315/trs - TRS list

DC FD and PD operate on their own 700/800 TRS - PD is encrypted - FD
is not - (however - the police mutual aid channels and patches are not
encrypted - need to clarify what channels exactly are patched)

note to self - check capitol hill monitors website for more info

99% of feds are encrypted - note - most federal installations have
their own security forces but only the largest have their own fire
depts

JWIN - federal law enforcement - dc area and seattle wa area - 170 mhz trs

Capitol Police TRS - 170 mhz

IWN TRS - 170 mhz - ATF and fed interops - maybe le interops only

Joint Natl Capital Region TRS - 380 mhz - most of the military bases
in the DC area

Justice Integrated Wireless Network TRS - 170 mhz - mostly Seattle
area but also ATF HQ maybe

Unidentified Federal P25 (680) TRS - 406 mhz - unknown users

United States Department of Defense (14C) TRS - 380 mhz - just the
marine barracks in wash dc is listed on this system

United States Department of Defense (1B5C8-001) TRS - 380 mhz - 11
sites - NSA plus ???

Washington DC Area Federal SMR TRS - 406 mhz - natl zoo and natl mall etc

next - need to figure out how interops is done between all of these systems

note - the local and state governments have their own TRS - and many
private companies have their own TRS - and Fleet Call etc have large
TRS - maybe fed ex and ups etc have trs also

Indiana frauditor charged with scanner possession

https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/frauditor-arrested-and-charged-with-possession-of-scanner.460022/

after reading all of this it seems to me that everyone in the legal
profession is crazy

openness - live scanner audio

he is not guilty because he was standing near a red squirrel that had
a blue walnut - that seems to be deeply analogous to the level of
logic and nuance in this case - and by 'nuance' we really mean
'nuisance"

nice look at the nitty gritty of computer security
