Post subject:  NFL Draft in Las Vegas - April 2022

I parked on the rooftop deck of The Rio's parking structure, facing the LV Strip but on the backside of the Strip properties. The NFL Draft thing would have been around a half mile away, on the other side of the Bellagio, and the NFL Fan Experience thing would have been about 3/4 mile away, on the other side of LV Blvd & behind Bally's. I coulda probably gotten closer, but I didn't want to deal with traffic madness. As I pulled onto The Rio property, I got a Close Call hit on 851.7375 -- an EDACS data channel for the Nevada Shared Radio System site atop The Rio:

Sat there in the Rio's lot for about three hours, scanning & searching. Alas, nothing of major significance found.

157.500 -- "I'm trying to find him, so I can drop this car." Only heard the one side, simplex or repeater input. Obviously sounded like a tow truck but maybe one of those 'buy a car on-line & have it delivered to your door!' services. No CTCSS/DCS. Old, expired tow truck company was once licensed for the freq:

154.515/DCS411 -- Our beloved Spearmint Rhino https://spearmintrhinolv.com/ relatively high-profile repeater! I know you pervs have this as a priority channel in your VEGAS BABY codeplugs, just make sure you've got the correct DCS, as they've changed it in the past, and my list still reflected the old one. They usually have a dress-code (no gang/club 'colors,' no sports team jerseys, etc.) but the manager reminded everyone that due to the NFL Draft thing taking place, sports team jerseys would be temporarily allowed.

Broadcast media IFBs/STLs/Production Intercoms:

Analog -- 450.0125 & 450.0375, 450.425/151.4, 450.525/151.4 (engineers, talking about switching transmitters), 450.2875 (speech inversion), 450.650 & 450.700, 450.550/146.2 (local KLAS TV8), 450.750, 450.850/110.9, 450.875, 450.925/151.4, 470.050/82.5 (dead carrier), 470.125 (local KLAS TV8 audio)

Digital (sounds like a Motorola TRS data channel): 450.025, 450.1125, 450.1875, 450.3375, 450.675, 450.725, 450.775, 450.8875, 450.9375, 450.950, 450.9875

Alas, searching 138-220 & 406-512MHz with a focus on 162-174, the above is all I found related to the event, besides a few local SNACC Talk Groups used for EMS Command, etc. that I found while occasionally scanning the usual, known systems.

I expect that the NFL may have leased a bunch of channels on an 800 or 900MHz ESMR to coordinate stuff, but I didn't search there. Maybe I will tonight or tomorrow, as the NFL Draft Week Fan Experience continues until tomorrow night.

I assume 'the good stuff' was on the encrypted LVMPD 700MHz TRS, including any FLEA participation, though FLEAs & whoever may also have been using FirstNet/POC. What they clearly were not using as a Primary comms system was standard analog or digital VHF/UHF LMR...


If close-enough with either a mobile or handheld transmitter, an immature twit could have had a lot of fun intruding on & over-riding some of the IFBs, more-fun if some were actually STLs. Can you imagine watching the Draft crap live on ESPN and that dumb woke mofo roger goodell when talking about your local NFL football team, you (and the rest of the world watching ESPN) hear *your full name & home town* come across the audio as their first pick?
