Great Dismal Swamp

[Larry51]

The Great Dismal Swamp came up this afternoon on 169.7875 showing a NAC of 064. That's the first time I've seen it come up with a NAC. They may have just upgraded to P25 on that frequency.

That has been in the 205's as P25 for a few years now, altho originally it was (2013) $100 - Good to hear a valid OTA confirmation

I've always wondered if someone recorded the decimal value instead of the hex value on that Dismal Swamp 205.

I've had similar questions with the NPS on the NC outer banks... Do they mean 256 hex, or does 256 decimal actually convert to 100 hex. I'm happy to see an OTA confirmation as well.

Usually they indicate on the 205's if DEC or HEX othertimes it's a Crap Shoot, I forget on this one what it indicated

NPS on the Outer Banks use the Dare Trunked System frequently. I have never heard them come up using the federal repeaters. I do know the federal repeater information is current, they just use Dare for some reason.
