Blue Ridge Parkway

I plan on traveling the BRP end of March. Any changes from what is in the database? Also, is there a listing of HAM repeaters that cover the Parkway? The lists I have found are 10 years old. Thanks!

I "THINK" the BRP VHF p25 listing is reasonable accurate, however I might be wrong.
As for the HAM stuff. Check this https://www.repeaterbook.com/repeaters/TravelSearch.php?route=AT&state_id=37
and may I also suggest 145.430 -0.6 CSQ (Sparta/Green Mtn), and 147.360 +0.6 pl 103.5 (Boone / Rich Mtn)

Don't forget Mt. Mitchell 145.190 - pl 156.7

The DB for the parkway in NC is accurate other than the DPL's for Rich and Cowee. The NC sites are run primarily in digital anyway.

I lived in Asheville for 30 years before recently moving to Florida . When did MM 145.190 get a PL tone?

The BRP VHF stuff is pretty accurate. They use XTL5000 VHF O5 remote head units. I have certified some of their RADAR units in my previous employment.

I'm also currently in Florida, but the last time I was in Asheville 145.190 was CSQ.

I just checked it, the Mt. Mitchell Repeater (145.190-) is operating CSQ this morning

OOPS! Mt. Mitchell got a tone when I could not read my list! The Raleigh, NC repeater has that tone and I misread my list....sorry. Thank you everyone for pointing that out. You all are correct Mt. Mitchell does NOT have a tone, at least I got the frequency right. LOL
