US DOD Southeastern Region TRS

Yesterday (14 July 2008) I was traveled down I-95 to the Jacksonville area for a short trip into downtown Jacksonivlle. I used the opportunity to do some very brief monitoring of the US Department of Defense Southeastern Region TRS. Due to the nature of the trip, I wasn't able to listen closely and take notes, but I did put the BC-396 into search and store mode. The 396 picked up on the 386.050 Control Channel for NSB Kings Bay and the 385.5625 Control Channel for NAS Jacksonville.

This afternoon I was able to fully review the contents of the BC-396's talkgroup search and store bank:

19457
28050
28051
28053
28056
28057
28058
28061
28064
28081
62036

The 28### series talkgroups all seemed to be from NAS Kings Bay. From what little time I was able to listen, it seemed there was a lot of encrypted traffic. Some talkgroups seemed to be a mix of encrypted and unencrypted stations, i.e. the base station would be in the clear and the mobile would be encrypted. Likewise, during that short listening time, I did not hear any voice traffic (encrypted or clear) on the NAS Jacksonville Control Channel.

As far as 19457 and 62036 go, I did not note which Control Channel they were found on.
