Tim, There are no "Federal EOC" frequencies that I have ever heard of. This type of frequency is usually licensed by the municipality in which the EOC serves, be it a state, county or local government. Now there are "Interoperability frequencies" this maybe what you are thinking. There are several in VHF, UHF, 700 & 800 mhz. See here http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Common_Public_Safety These still need to licensed by the municipality. In theory outside agencies should be able to communicate with you on these. Not sure if this is the information you are looking for or not. -- Dan -- KE3UC
