As long as I can remember, the LPF was encoding the same ctcss tone on their output as on the input. Thus, if you wanted to monitor LPF using CTCSS, you had to either program in each hilltop with it's own ctcss tone, or just use carrier squelch.
Yesterday afternoon's weather/fire danger ratings came over the air (170.55 "forest net"), and I was surprised to see that it was encoding 103.5 from whatever transmitter they were using (I am in the San Fernando Valley). The DB shows 103.5 to be Cone Peak, up by Big Sur, so obviously I was not hearing THAT site.
Has the LPF joined the ANF, Sequoia, and San Bernadino in encoding 103.5 forest wide?
