THE FED FILES - Welcome to The Fed Files blog! This blog was originally built to support the "Fed Files" column in Monitoring Times magazine. Although the Fed Files, as well as Monitoring Times, ended with the December 2013 issue, this blog continues and is associated with the new federal monitoring column, Federal Wavelengths, in The Spectrum Monitor magazine. If you would like to make a comment, pass along a tip or frequency you can send it to my email address, chrisparris @ thefedfiles.com
OK, blog readers, here's another federal frequency mystery for you...
163.4625 MHz, NAC 001, radio ID of 1, talk group of 1.
Heard encrypted communications in the Seattle area recently. A check of my logs have shown that it mostly appears to have been allocated at various military bases across the country.
I have logged it with various NAC values at some of the Super Bowl games I've been working.
The NTIA allocations seem to indicate military or Department of Energy allocations.
Any guesses?
