Little Pend Oreille NWR in WA

[zerg901]

I found the 2001 Fire Mgmt Plan for the Little Pend Oreille Natl Wildlife Refuge in Washington online. They were still all analog back then.

164.625 - FWS1 (Fish & Wildlife Service)
163.15 - FWS2
170.55 PL146.2 - Colville Natl Forest 1
170.55R - 169.575in - Colville NF 2
170.125 - CNF Project Freq
164.9625 - Fire Tac
151.415 - DNR Common
164.775R - 166.275 in - PL 156.7 - Turnbull NWR
166.375R - 166.975 in - Natl Park Service repeater
122.925 - Air to Ground
122.90 - Air Net
153.965 - PL179.9 - Sheriff

LPO1 is the Refuge Manager (Little Pend Oreille)
LPO2 is the Ops Specialist
LPO3 is the Mtnce / LEO

The plan mentioned that the Colville NF and the LPO would share freqs. And 164.625 was referred to as a "repeater". So maybe 164.625 and 163.15 are actually a repeater pair.

Thanks for this information. Over the years I've noticed that the radio systems of the USFWS seem to be the least known of all the natural resource managment agencies. With more and more interagency dispatch centers brining together most of the federal land management agenices the frequency plans of those centers become one of the best sources of that information. Unfortuneatly this also coincides with more and more fire plan and mobilization plan frequency information pages being classified "for official use only."

Hi Peter,
I have heard LPO units on 170.5500 but never really researched who/what they were; now I know. Thanks!

164.7750 R (156.7) is still active/accurate- Turnbull NWR Cheney, Wa Law/Fire/Nauralists all on this channel. Seems like Naturalists do most of the talking. Not alot of crime at Trunbull I imagine.

164.625/163.15, I have heard simplex comms on 163.1500 (in june per my notes, generic conversation) have not heard a thing on 164.6250 since your post.

Good Find, Thanks You for posting

Ahh, this explains why I'm having such a tough time finding freqs for NF areas.
