Little strange

[corbintechboy]

I put railroad channels into my SDS200 and got this from Corbin (where I am)

156.325 Fredonia Valley Railroad

But instead I get a tone of C225.7 and it was very active with what sounded like BRMC (the hospital) dispatch or something. Looked in the database and that should not be happening.

Anyone know why that is happening? Or, anyone verify?

Thanks

156.325 is not in the Railroad Band. That looks to be a Marine Channel
How close are you to the Hospital? You may be seeing CO-CHANNELING

This is a listing of KY. railroads.

That frequency is listed as Fredonia Valley Railroad along with being a marine channel.

Sorry, long day hot water heater thing.

We just moved and we are 2.51 miles from BRMC the way the crow flies. I just loaded all the Ky railroad stuff in my scanner last night and that frequency was there and I found it strange.
