Thanks for the info
: 417.200 is a repeater output for the GSA Federal Protective Service. This agency covers Federally occupied spaces, both Fed owned, as well as leased.
: 417.200 is wirelined to Denver for dispatch, and is also linked to an identical repaeter in Portland, located at the KGON site.
: They dispatch both the patrols, as well as the guards (10Gxx units)
: The primary repeater is located at the VA hospital on Beacon hill, and a second repeater is located at 3 Sisters in Auburn. It sounds like they might be simulcasting from both sites now.
: 415.200 is a simplex "Tac" for the Washington / Oregon patrols. Last check the Denver Dispatch could not hear this freq.
: Incidentally, the mobiles in this fleet all run 110 watts out.
: : : anyone know why there's increased activity on 417.2 lately?? i just tuned in this week after months of not listening..
: : : i have 417.2 listed as a federal freq, but i donno what branch.. usually i heard a good drug bust once a month.. but now it's small traffic stops five times a day.
: : 417.2 is KPA 966, General Services Administration-Law Enforcement Branch. Probably increased awareness of suspicious types is causing more activity.
: : They used to be on 415.2 also.
