AR Forestry has federal freqs

[zerg901]

If you check the FCC ULS you can see that Arkansas State Forestry is licensed for - 169.90 - 171.525 - 171.575 - 172.275 - 172.375 - 80 mobiles at 60 watts each.

I think that 169.90 is the regional USFS fire ground channel - mobiles only.

I am not sure what the other channels are for. Possibly for internal use or possible for coodination with the feds.

I think all of these channels (except 169.90) are shared nationwide between the feds and state forestry units.

None of the freqs show up in the Arkansas Forestry listings in the Radio Reference database.

169.900 is the USFS Region 8 (Southern Region) Fire Net

For info on the others see
National Incident Radio Support Cache - The RadioReference Wiki
or
Electronic Code of Federal Regulations:
Scroll down to paragraph (c) about halfway down the page.
or
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/4c_5_11.pdf
search for "US8" in the document.

Thanks Tom - lots of great info there

I also noticed in the FCC ULS that Missouri has - 168.125 168.15 168.725 168.75 170.425 170.575 172.225 (and 172.375 for MO and MO3) - the first 4 are the NF in MO I think - not sure on the rest - none are listed under MO Conservation at Radio Ref

There is all sorts of strange freqs out there to be discovered.

What about Michigan? Anyone have any info

I haven't seen any documents about MI in my recent research but it looks like there is a lot in the database already. Did you look here? Federal Government Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
You might look in the wiki for federal agencies in MI.

I can confirm that 171.425 was used at the 2010 Roscommon, MI Forest Fire. Aircraft to ground crews with fire updates.
