[ScanIndiana] Nashville/Columbus Area - 153.665

[Matthew C. Payne]

I've found a listing for 153.665 on the FCC database.  It bears the
callsign of WNFR751.  It is authorized for one base station and eight 30
watt mobiles.  The licensee name is Nashville, City of.

IndyScan has a listing of 458.6375 for Nashville Police.  Could that be a
low power TAC frequency or a remote transmitter link from a central
dispatch point?  Besides, there is no current license for 458.6375
anywhere nearby.

I don't live in Nashville or even Brown County.  But my money is on that
frequency being licensed and used by the Nashville Police.  As far as the
quick drop repeater, perhaps the police are using a mobile extender, with
the input being 458.6375?  (Pure conjecture).

It bears looking at, though.  Are you planning on going back to Nashville
anytime soon?
