Hints for monitoring
--------------------

Most of the interesting frequencies are USUALLY scrambled during actual
operations.  However, 407.850 and 415.700 are never scrambled.
 
Sometimes, the best info on plane landings and limo locations and such can be
obtained through regular airport communications and local police.
 
The Secret Service has been known to occasionally use cellular communications.
 
The PL used extensively by USSS is 103.5 Hz.  
 
Hearing the callsign "Air Force 1" means the President is on the plane.  "Air
Force 2" is the Vice President's plane.
