Is this possible?

[AngWay]

So i'm just wondering/confused with this here. i have a discone antenna on my roof and i'm using a BCD436HP scanner and i'm picking up this frequency 451.6750 and after searching it up it's coming back as fayette county ky Here i have also tried scanning the whole fayette county from radio reference database but i'm not picking up anything else in that county only the one. if it is that frequency i'm picking up why only the one and not others from there?. i googled how far from me that is and it's about 4 hours drive from where i am is it possible to pick that up with my setup? it is pretty far out from me. i'v also thought it's not even that location but another closer but my searches are not turning up anything else that is NXDN and fits that frequency.

Also i have picked up other frequencies that are similar in distance and those barely come in alot of the times. Thanks

I wouldn't expect a school system to be throwing out a ton of power and propagating that much. Are you 100% sure the chatter you are hearing is from the school that matches that there? Is it coming up as NXDN like the database listing shows?

Sorry i forgot to add, it's not a school chatter and theres not a ton of traffic on it but there is enough i can't tell anything from the chatter yet but it does sound like police ems or fire i just can't tell yet. i have searched that frequency in 3 surrounding states in the fcc database and checked the emissions on them all and none show up as NXDN except the one in fayette ky.

Its unlikely that it's Lexington KY. They are encrypted.

Encrypted? that frequency in RR database doesn't show it's encrypted?

Honestly, I really don't think it's even that frequency I'm picking up. It is really far away and it's not a school but I can't find anything else it could be.

didn't see your last part... yes it is NXDN48 like in the database The RAN is the same to

I'm saying it won't likely be Lexington KY.

i'm picking up this frequency 451.6750....

Have you ruled out this? It is in Buchanan County VA. You cannot always trust the emission designator in the licenses. It is not uncommon for an agency to use an emission type they are not licensed for.
FCC Callsign WRVK747 (VA-KY COMMUNICATIONS)

Keep listening for clues in the transmissions.

Just a thought--could 451.6750 be an image product of (approx) 462.2750 - 462.3750?

451.675 is licensed to the Craig County VA school system. NFM and DMR. WQKP962. Seems to me that is your neighboring county.

Pretty sure the OP said "it's not school chatter".

Looks like you are right. Thank you! This is what is says from the license: 90.35a - APPLICANT IS A GOVERNMENT ENTITY. SYSTEM WILL BE UTILIZED WITHIN THE COUNTY TO COORDINATE TRANSPORTATION AND SCHOOL SYSTEM ACTIVITIES. I will have to continue my search.

I think i may have pinned it down i still am not sure but i hear the location "Grassy" alot in the traffic and "sub station" i googled grassy in va and all i get is grassy creek in martinsville va i went and looked it up on RR and THIS is what i found it is NXDN but i'm still unsure it's still like 4 hours away.

Edit: just looked and there is a place called grassy in morgan ky and it's just 2 hours away

It looks like there is a Grassy Creek substation in Buchanan County, Virginia - possibly AEP Transmission / Appalachian Power

Interesting ... very much could be that . The AEP here seems to all be on 850mhz tho i am able to listen to about 5 different locations of AEP on that i have never heard the AEP on VHF or UHF tho maybe i'll hear more and find out for sure. Thanks for sharing that.
