170.050 MHz near Daytona Beach

[lotsofradios]

Was searching the VHF Fed frequencies today and ran across a voice in the clear on 170.050 MHz FM. no callsigns, just quick audio talking about a cell phone.

Any ideas who uses this, I can't find a reference for that frequency. I'm located about 10 miles north of Daytona.

Also of interesting note, 164.5375 had some digital signal for a short period of time. I did find a reference to that frequency being used to track turtles.

170.0500 MHz is assigned primarily to the US Department of Interior, so most likely US Parks Service, US Fish & Wildlife or another DoI agency.

Very well could be. I live close to the Canaveral National Seashore which is a Fed. park.
Thank you!

Lock it in, see what you get for a PL/DPL tone

Probably the Fort Matanzas and Castillo De San Marcos National Monuments in St Augustine, PL is 77.0.
