Cleveland National Forest New Forest Net

...One of these repeaters had low audio too. It may turn out that both Admin and Forest net repeaters have an audio problem which would point to the interconnect circuit and not the actual repeaters.

That could be, but unless they're still using analog microwave, I'm not sure what the mechanism could be.

I heard the low audio again myself, and the radio was stopped on CNF Admin net.

Could i have the wrong name programmed in the radio? I wouldn't discount that possibility yet.

It will be a fun mystery to puzzle out. I doubt they still have analog microwave but am curious about how they set levels in the interconnect solution they've implemented

I am going to post and update some notes that might help with the process by identifying repeaters with good dispatch audio. When I hear a unit name the tone they are on and Cleveland responds I am assuming Cleveland selects the same site to respond. Please post up if that is incorrect.

Starting with tones 2, 4 and 5 on Forest Net I have heard good audio from dispatch responding on Forest Net. Will add a similar note for what I hear on Admin Net.

1 Sierra
2 Santiago Peak -Forest Net OK
3 Elsinore
4 High Point -Forest Net OK
5 Cuyamaca -Forest Net OK
6 Ortega
7 Los Pinos
8 Boucher
9 Lyons Peak
10 Portable Repeater
11 Black Mtn.
12 Sitton Peak


Just copy the list, add your updates and repost and we'll see if this approach helps

Have you heard it on both Forest net and Admin net? I heard one bit of activity this afternoon on Admin where Cleveland was talking to someone, and the mobile was loud and Cleveland barely audible. Cross coded tones, I think. And no one mentioned what tone they were using.

Thanks! I have yet to hear it on Admin but ZZ0468's initial report got me to spend more time listening in hopes of gathering good evidence.. I am also keeping an ear out for any comms tech activity in CNF.

Did you ever figure out what repeaters have low audio? I've been too busy to listen much.

I have not heard the low audio problem since those days in May. Unsure if it was fixed by a tech or if it just stopped.

Teotwaki are you familiar with WildCAD? WildWeb

You can select CA-CNF and then select Resource Status on left to get a listing of units - might help you with your list

Wish I had been able to better hear what they were yakking about as it could have come from ANF or CNF...

LE Net tone X

Late last night I heard xxxA heading to - a location -

Today xxxB checked in with dispatch and inquired about xxxA. Found out they were still out. Dispatch said "forensics" had been called.

A bit after that xxxA tried calling xxxB on LE Net but was unsuccessful.

That's about as vague as I guess it needs to be since this is ongoing. Go listen to CNF LE net for more detail or PM me
