The Nevada Department of Wildlife uses 151.475 with an input of 151.160 statewide and a pl of 67.0 on the output. 159.285 is licensed statewide and is presumably a tactical frequency. Here is the lineup for all the other frequencies licensed to NDOW:

151.175 Temporary Repeater Output
151.250 Fixed Base Angels Peak
151.325 Fixed Base Elko Mountain
151.370 Fixed Base Montezuma Peak
151.385 Fixed Base Virginia Peak
151.415 Fixed Base Cave Mountain
151.445 Temporary Repeater Input
151.460 Fixed Bases & Repeaters Jacks Peak & Fox Mountain
151.490 Fixed Base Winnemucca Mountain & Repeater Maggie Peak
159.285 Statewide Mobile

It should be noted that NDOW has a statewide mobile license that lists all of its frequencies for mobile use throughout the State of Nevada. It would appear that a number of these frequencies are used on a regional or area basis to communicate car to car and via remote bases, which are presumably connected to the State of Nevada microwave backbone. Then two of these remote base frequencies are used for three repeaters.

NDOW no longer stands for the Nevada Division of Wildlife, rather the Nevada Department of Wildlife. This change was made in the last 5 years or so. This means they have full department status in the state government and are no longer a part of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources as the Divisions of Forestry, State Lands, and State Parks are.

Nevada members need to monitor these additional frequencies and see how they are used. The above information was developed by researching NDOW FCC licenses that took about 3 hours.

As I was doing this research I found that the Nevada Division of Forestry has expanded their Conservation Camp repeater network to many more locations in the southern and northeastern portions of the state. This net is on 151.190.

NDOW also makes use of 151.460 which they often refer to as channel 3 and it operates in the simplex mode and is usually a mobile-to-mobile channel. It's very active in Southern Nevada.
