Hearing traffic in Western KY on 168.2250, 169.6250, 169.6750 with PL 123.0

Noticed that Wiki database lists this frequencies with different PL tones.

Anyone have any information or updates of antenna locations?

Thanks,
Richard

Might want to ask this in the Kentucky forum, they might help you better than us in Tennessee.

168.2250 USFS - Land Between the Lakes - South Repeater


Probably best to look in the RR DB before the Wiki

Federal Agencies (Kentucky) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
US Forest Service - Daniel Boone National Forest Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
US Forest Service - Land Between The Lakes Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

Thanks for the replies.
I know that TVA used to be responsible for the National Recreation Area in LBL but it is now managed by USFS Law Enforcement. I hear digital traffic with "800" units on 168.0250 referred to as "Golden Pond LE".
Perhaps TVA is using the South Repeater in LBL for traffic in their Northern District. I have heard TVA Police "200" units at Raccoon Mountain TN facility, Blue Ridge GA facility and Apalachia NC facility in their Eastern and Central Districts. I have heard "400" units at KY Dam facility in their Northern District. I have heard "500" units at Wilson AL facility, Pickwick TN facility, and Muscle Shoal AL facility.
Kinda unusual to hear traffic in Eastern TN area in W. Kentucky on a regular basis.

Here in East TN, TVA broadcasts on those exact frequencies with a PL of 103.5 on all three. So more than likely you are hearing TVA. I believe they have business in Kentucky but not real sure.

TVA shouldn't be digital, but it's possible. I would think USFS more likely. What kind of traffic was it?
