ODF Advice

[Gezelle007]

If someone could provide some advice on what to listen to for Oregon Department Of Forestry, mostly dispatch, call tap outs, and such, that would be awesome.

Reason being, local dispatch advised a local fire department that a fire was being tapped out on the Forestry channel. I want to be able to hear that kind of thing.

So are you asking for what ODF channels to listen to?

Yeah Im sorry. Ive gotten some frequencies off the database, but I havent really heard anything, Ive gotten High Heaven and Hebo channels, and all four of the "color" net channels. I just need to know which out of those I should listen to- if those are even the right ones...

Try 151.14500 for Forest Grove Forestry Unit. They cover Washington and Yamhill counties. Then you can try their repeaters too.

ODF NW Area

**Forest Grove Dispatch 151.1450
Tillamook Unit 151.1825
Western Oregon Unit "Toledo Dispatch" (Seasonal) 151.1675 Licoln, Polk, Benton Counties.
North Cascade Unit "Molalla Dispatch" 151.2050

These are the four you should be able to hear fine from Yamhill County.
When a fire report comes in, you often will here the dispatcher us an "alert tone/beep" only. This is followed by location, type of incident and units to respond. Often after units go enroute, move up's are made.

Tac Channels to listen to in Yamhill County area ;
Statewide RED NET 151.3400
Statewide WHITE NET 151.3100

.. I don't know much about the uses of BLUE and GREEN NETs.
