Washington Auto Show Finds

Here's what I found at the Washington Auto Show on Saturday:

451.8125 [ d205] Kia Staff
461.1000 [ d351] Program restockers
462.3750 [ d506]
464.5000 [186.2]
464.9250 [ d546]
469.5000 [146.2] Test drives

464.9250 [ d546] was also active at the 2012 auto show, and at the 2007 State Fair of Virginia for RMC Events. RMC Events is based in Richmond, however, and I didn't see any of their personnel at the auto show.

469.5000 [146.2] was used by personnel coordinating test drives. There were several auto brands offering test drives; the frequency was probably used by one of them.

Radio rentals for auto show staff were from Metrotalk. I didn't find a license for them for any of these frequencies.

Two other frequencies were found at the convention center: 461.7125 [ d712] and 463.3125 [ d743]. I was unable to determine if these were in use for the auto show. There are no plausible FCC licenses for these frequencies in the immediate area.

The convention center's MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus trunked system was very active. Several new groups were found on Saturday that had not been previously identified.
