Pisgah/Nantahala NF Admin Zones

[TylerMK]

I am hoping someone may be able to clarify some frequencies for the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests. The recently posted "NTIA Government Master List" has been a great help with pinning down some USFS frequencies in WNC but has also added some confusion for me. There appears to be two Nantahala Admin Nets and a previously listed Nantahala frequency is listed as Pisgah NF on the NTIA literature. Below is a reference to what is listed in the RR database vs what is listed in the NTIA notes. Any clarification or information would be appreciated. If this should be moved to the NC forum please let me know and I apologize in advance.

171.475 - NTIA listed as Nantahala Admin Net, Admin Zone 1. Seems correct as it has historically been listed as the same.
171.7875 - Also NTIA listed as Nantahala Admin Net, Admin Zone 1. Unsure of its actual use as the net name is duplicated.
171.550 - NTIA listed as Pisgah Admin Net, Admin Zone 2. Historically listed as Nantahala Admin Zone 2.
172.225 - NTIA listed as Pisgah Admin Net, Admin Zone 3. Correct, historically listed as Pisgah NF (as well as Uwharrie and Croatan NF)

171.7875 has been traditionally found as the LE [Law Enforcement] net, in many of the USFS Regions

The Nantahala east and west nets still exist however the Pisgah ranger district of the Pisgah NF that covers the Transylvania County area has a separate frequency now to differentiate them from the Appalachian & Grandfather districts located north of I-40.

Thanks for the info. I’m assuming 171.7875 is the Transylvania area Pisgah NF frequency. If anyone could confirm that would be awesome. It is listed in the SC database as “Nantahala NF Toxaway”. I initially thought that 171.550 had been reallocated to Pisgah’s southern area. Thanks again.
