Heard something on 166.325

[KD7HGK]

I heard something on the federal VHF allocated bands today. On 166.325 MHz I heard what sounded like a burst of digitized grinding noise and then a male voice responded in the clear with "You sound a little noisy" and then the grinding noise transmitted and nothing further was said. No idea which agency this could be.

PL tone used was 118.8

Next time, see if 166.9250 sounds better :wink:

166.3250/166.9250 are usually NPS, BIA, BLM,USF&W users

Either one could be the Repeater , but are typically paired

Thanks man. I live not far from the Smokies so it might be NPS Rangers. If so, I might have something to submit to the database as that frequency isn't listed for the Smokey Mountains.
