have you checked in the database for the area?
Wow
You mean that information is in the databaseNext thing you're going to tell me is the info might be found using search
The state of Tennessee Advanced Communications Network (TACN)
I get my info from direct inside sources I will not share who that I have had from day one. This is also the info that was shared with agencies in our area. If you want better than mobile coverage it is your responsibility to pay for sites to get said coverage. I have known this before the 1st...
I don’t think they have updated their database frequencies

here is the truth :
pigeon Forge police is on the tacn system dispatch is clear . some secondary stuff may run partial enc .
pigeon Forge fire is on the nexedge enc system as well as all fire departments in the county .

They have an updated any of the channels for encryption
We are “they”…. We as forum users submit updates to the RR database.
Thanks
I was just there a couple weeks ago. Pigeon Forge police dispatch can be heard in the clear, as noted above. You can also hear the National Park Service. EMS and at least one fire department (Seymour Fire) were getting paged on analog frequencies.

Dollywood is in Pigeon Forge: Dollywood Trunking System, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Dollywood is now an Icom IDAS Digital Trunking System. It has been in service last than a year now
All Sevier County Fire and Rescue Departments are Paged out on 464.225 MHz with a PL of 136.5. Gatlinburg Fire and EMS is also paged out on 453.850 with a PL of 100.0. Sevier County Ambulance Service is paged out on 462.950 MHz with a PL of 127.3 You can also hear the different dispatch centers communicate on Interagency; it is 460.500 with a PL of 100.0. Central 911 Dispatch only Dispatches Fire and EMS. 100 is Sevier County Sheriff Dispatch, 500 is Gatlinburg Police Dispatch, and 700 is Pigeon Forge Police Dispatch. You can also put in Seymour Vol. Fire Department in there, it is 154.310 with a PL of 103.5. That is their primary dispatch channel, but they also use TACN for some responses and for talk around communications They cover parts of Sevier, Knox, and Blount Counties. Sevier County Central, Blount Comm Center, and Knox Fire (Knox AMR/Rural Metro Dispatch at Knox 911) all communicate with them on that frequency. Other than paging and Seymour Fire Department, everyone else is on digital for their primary communications. Fire, EMS, Rescue, and Law Enforcement are on a UHF Digital Trunking System and it is a Rental System through Land Air. Every public safety channel is encrypted on that radio system. The only exception is Pigeon Forge Police and they operate on the statewide system known as TACN and it is a 700/800 MHZ Digital Trunking System. PFPD is unencrypted on their Main channel. Some PFPD Secondary channels can have partial encryption usage. National Park Service is VHF and they digital system as well, with the LE Rangers and the Park Dispatch Center utilizing encryption sometimes. It is my understanding that most non-LE Ranger radios do not have encryption keys within the radios. All the towers within the park are linked (at least when they links work). The LE Rangers in the park also sometimes use NC's VIPER Statewide System and TN's TACN Statewide System. The GSMNP TACN 1 talk group is typically linked to VIPER.

I just left Pigeon Forge. Dollywood is now IDAS. I am having trouble with my tablet trying to submit this data. Feel free to send this to the TN DB Admin. This was confirmed with both DSD and an SDS100 LCN finder. I have hundreds of recordings and may be able to identify some of the TGs down the road. Some of their radios send a text tag in the UID.
Dollywood IDAS Area 0
451.01250 LCN 1
452.73750 LCN 2
461.49375 LCN 3
462.03750 LCN 4
463.73750 LCN 5
451.8375 is also licensed to this system but I heard nothing on it.
The Dollywood LTR system is gone and I heard nothing on the Dollywood analog freqs.
The Pigeon Forge trolleys are also on the TACN. There are hundreds of business band freqs, analog and DMR in use around the area.

I do not know about hospital to hospital, but there was ambulance to hospital analog traffic in the clear.

Is this a IDAS "D" Trunking system? Or conventional? or control channel trunked?
6.25 or 12.5?
Anyone know what the deal is with these?
They are not licensed for NXDN operation, and analog expired beyond the FCC grace period so wondering who can confirm this is or not correct?

They are licensed under WPRI409 for Trunking and NXDN: ULS License - Industrial/Business Pool, Trunked License - WPRI409 - DOLLYWOOD. It is the same license as their analog LTR system. Those conventional frequencies on that link saw very little usage while they were on the LTR analog system. There was some usage on some of those frequencies with the entertainment shows at Dollywood. But most traffic has always been under the frequencies listed with WPRI409.Is this a IDAS "D" Trunking system? Or conventional? or control channel trunked?

Since no one is updating the database...
What type of system is the Dollywood system? "IDAS" is not helpful.

IDAS = NXDN
In this case, NXDN Trunking.
More information: Kenwood and ICOM make NXDN capable radios and repeaters (and trunking systems); ICOM has one flavor of NXDN (either narrow or very-narrow, I can't remember which) available in their radios and systems, and Kenwood has both types in their radios. NXDN trunking is 4800-baud or very-narrow, but your scanner won't care. I have several public safety agencies nearby and they use Kenwood in both modes (no trunking -- yet).
