[FedCom] Great Smokey Mtn Nat Park log

[rod jones]

Came home a few days ago from there, things have changed from when I was there in Sept. 

The National Park Service (NPS) is now running Digital on their Conventional freqs, also looks
like they changed or added a few freqs. 169.55 is still active as the Regional repeater, 167.15,
169.0875(New), 170.5125(New), and 171.1625 all seem to be Repeater outputs with the same input. 

Sounds like the Park Rangers are now Digital, but a few users, maybe the maintenance guys, are
still Analog. 

Also, on 169.55 Analog, heard a "Wildlife" unit contacting the NPS Dispatcher, then the dispatcher
went digital, then came back on analog to the "Wildlife" unit.


Here are the Freq/Modes noted

167.1500  Digital/Analog
169.0875  Digital
170.5125  Digital/Analog (PL 123.0 noted in Analog)
171.1625  Digital/Analog (PL 173.8 noted in Analog)
