Savannah Coastal Refuges Complex Digital Repeater System Update

This afternoon, I was able to identify which NWR 172.650 is associated with. 172.650 was extremely strong in the Port Wentworth area this afternoon, so it is undoubtably the repeater is associated with the Savannah NWR. Monitoring the system over the last few days of firefighting operations has also indicated that the system is capable of operations in analog and digital mode. The repeater outputs are also apparently used for simplex operation as well.

This information brings the known info on the system to be (PL tones are listed where known for analog mode):

169.825 - PL 118.8
171.650
171.750
172.450 - PL 167.9 - Skidaway
172.650 - PL 110.9 - Savannah NWR
