Dulles Airport Update

Here are new/updated frequencies for Dulles Airport:

451.8500 [         ] Skycaps (Huntleigh) (DMR - Color Code 10, Slot 2, Group 3) (RAS)
464.9000 [         ] Skycaps (Huntleigh) (DMR - Color Code 1, Slot 1, Group 22151) (RAS)
452.2250 [         ] Alaska (DMR - Color Code 2, Slot 1, Group 101)
460.7875 [         ] Avianca/Taca (DMR - Color Code 1, Slot 1, Group 1)
460.7875 [         ] Avianca/Taca (DMR - Color Code 1, Slot 2)
460.7625 [         ] Southwest (DMR - Color Code 12, Slot 1, Group 101)
460.7625 [         ] Southwest (DMR - Color Code 12, Slot 2, Group 102)
460.8750 [         ] US Airways/American (DMR - Color Code 1, Slot 1, Group 1001)
463.3250 [         ] Hertz - Customer Service (DMR - Color Code 9, Slot 1, Group 11)
463.3250 [         ] Hertz - Buses (DMR - Color Code 9, Slot 2, Slot 12)
452.2750 [         ] Swissport (DMR - Color Code 1, Slot 1, Group 1) (RAS)
452.2750 [         ] Swissport (DMR - Color Code 1, Slot 2, Group 2) (RAS)

Many of the above frequencies were previously analog, and have switched to DMR. The Hertz frequency may actually be for Dollar/Thrifty, since Hertz already has a separate frequency at the airport.

The Aeronautical Radio trunked system was found to have at least one unencrypted group; other groups are using Enhanced Privacy.

The United Airlines trunked system remains Motorola Type II; it was suspected that the system may have been converted to Capacity Plus or Connect Plus, as United seems to be doing with some of their systems at hub airports (such as Chicago) in the United States.
