Spending the Spring/Summer/Fall around Yellowstone

[Computrguy]

I am retired and travel the country in a motorhome. I've always been an enthusiast of scanner listening. I have a SDS100 and BCD436.
I will be spending May-Sept in and around Yellowstone. More likely NW WY, SE ID, SW MT maybe all the way up to Glacier NP.
Started my research in the RR database and also the wiki@ Yellowstone National Park - The RadioReference Wiki
Am trying to figure out why all the frequencies in the wiki are not in the database. Any thoughts on that? Or am I missing something?
Second issue is I am not familiar with programming the frequencies in Sentinel. Any point me to a good thread on how to program repeater frequencies into Sentinel?
Was also wondering if others may have favorite lists that are already programmed for this area they might share?
TIA

The RRDB is actual user submissions, confirmed by Over-The-Air monitoring.

the RR Wiki is comprised of Articles written for users/by users as well as information
that may not really fit into the RRDB aka Radio Codes, Patrol Districts and UNCONFIRMED info

Some of the USFS/NPS info in the Wiki came from "Official" documents found thru Open Source [google etc]
searching, but may have never been confirmed in real-time monitoring. Also some of the Tacticals are part
of a National Cache of channels available from NIFC in Boise that can be assigned anywhere and would be
in the RRDB under the Nationwide listings.

Hope this helps and Drive/Enjoy Safely

I was fortunate enough to spend the last couple weeks just outside GTNP in the Bridger Teton NF. Had a beautiful view of the Tetons.
Not a whole lot to report scanning with my 436. Most of the traffic I heard was on 171.675 Wyoming Federal/NPS-GTNP/Park Operations 1
I did hear sporadic transmissions on Wyoming Federal/NPS-GTNP/Park Operations2 which is P25. Was surprised at this as everything on ops 1 was scratchy. P25 was so nice and crystal clear it stood out.
There was some traffic from the Teton county sheriff but was analog and so far way I could not understand it. My guess it was south of Jackson and I was in Moran.
Most park traffic was for animal jams, parking violations, erratic drivers and broken down RVs. There was on roll over where the park rangers called in a helicopter to transport. I never heard anything on the medivac/helicopter frequencies.
The ops channel 1 waswhere the activity was and gave me something to pass the time when I was back at the RV staying away from the crowds. And there are CROWDS here.Moving on to explore Yellowstone over the next few weeks. Where I am staying (20 miles outside of West Yellowstone in the Targhee NF) I don't expect to hear much Yellowstone traffic but time will only tell.

I left out 168.612500 COMMON used frequently by elk patrol in Mammoth.

In Grand Teton National Park 163.125 car to car has always been analog. This year the radios were reprogrammed and now this frequency produces only static. Does anyone know what the change was. Can this frequency still be listened to? Thanks
