: : : 454.225 is an RCC channel. Typically used for paging in most areas. In western Washington there used to be RCC mobile telephone service on that freq.
: : : My guess is that you are receiving an image of a UHF link transmitter associated with one of their VHF freqs. What make/model of radio are you using ?

: : : : I have been picking up Okanogan National Forest dispatch out of Okanogan
: : : : and Tonasket Wa on 454.225. I cannot find any refrence to this in any federal listings. Anybody have any ideas why this is. inquiring mind needs to know.

: : : : p.s. U.S.F.S. Okanogan National Forest dispatch is listed as 170.1250
: : I just have a Bearcat 350A and Bearcat 60xlt nothing fancy.

: The BC350A is double-conversion and is known for receiving images at +21.4mhz of the real freq. Of course this wouldn't add up correctly for your situation. Anyways try searching 410-412 and 415-416 for the "real" signal, thats where you usually find their links.
Thanks i'll try that.
