Anyone know about comms? Do any DTR towers or Conv. Repeaters cover this area, or would they be using mostly simplex and Sat phones?

The database shows 166.350 as the repeater input. I have tried that and 169.800 frequency (shown as CH1 in database) and cannot hear anything in Boulder county. Can barely get 171.75000.

Any pointers?

RMNP

Try this link: Colorado Federal Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
scroll down to Rocky Mountain National Park they have numerous repeaters on the west side and east side.
I can get alot of the east side repeaters from my qth in Severance.
