Smoky Mountains National Park

I created a google map of the repeater tower locations a while back:

Please look over it and let me know if I need to add any frequencies or tower locations that I am not aware of at this time.
Thanks

Working on my ASTRO Spectra codeplug now for my truck and this was a tremendous help. Had it saved since I found it a few months (years?) ago.

Still really curious how this system is setup, I feel like there are more sites based on all the frequencies in use. What frequencies can you confirm are in use and linked based on what you've heard from your location?

Nice map Danny.

I cannot confirm Wachcha, Fry, or Barnett. I have never been in that area of the park since owning a digital scanner.
I can confirm Mt Sterling 172.500, Webb Mtn, Dome, Gatlinburg, Cove, but not Look Rock.

This is why I asked for help in making sure I have everything I can possibly get correct and confirmed.

All repeaters are linked together in simulcast, basically what you hear on one repeater will be heard on them all.

Alright thanks for the confirmations. Pretty sure Wachcha & Fry are right, I was pulling them in without an antenna last time I was near there, but never heard site names.

Has anyone been able to confirm if 166.3500 is using 4C5 as the input as well?

Good job Danny, thanks for putting this together.

Yes, I can confirm 166.350/4C5 is the input to the repeaters, except for those ID'd in the DB as "Parkwide." Don't know about these.

Thanks Thad,

Look for an email shortly. Got some good stuff to fill you in on.

First column is when I confirmed the signal is still there. I keep records of such stuff. Away means I recieved it away from my home and I dont keep track of stuff when Im crusing down the road. But that does mean I have recieved it at one point or another.

Away 167.15000 4C5 NAC FM GSMNP Parkwide
10/07/12 169.08750 4C5 NAC FM GSMNP WebbMtn

Away 172.58750 4C5 NAC FM GSMNP BarnettMtn

All of those are simulcasted. Except maybe the Parkwide one, not sure, but I know the others are. I have them all programmed in one scanlist and when they say something the scanner usually stops on the weaker signal and I have to listen to a digital choppy signal. I believe I get a better signal from Clingmans Dome than I do Gatlinburg and Gatlinburg is closer to me.

Great Map Danny.
