U.S. Forest Service California Wiki Updates

[es93546]

I just finished updating the Wiki pages for the U.S. Forest Service in California. There were very few changes, maybe 3 among all of the channel and repeater tone listings for each National Forest. There were no changes on the main database pages. All changes had to do with the channel plans for each Forest. There were some changes to the database listings for aircraft. Those changes were just submitted to the DB editors so it might take a few days until they are posted.

We always appreciate your in-depth updates!

thank you

So sorry for this, but I left out one correction when I did my first sweep through the frequency lists for this Wiki page. The Sierra National Forest had one change. They added a new repeater called "Deadwood" on Tone 11. I haven't determined what the output tone is yet.

I just updated the Sierra NF's output tones. The list now includes all the repeaters and no longer shows "TBD" (To Be Determined) for any of the repeaters.

Fred what do you have for updating Sierra to 4 NET's ??

Recently found some information that indicates they have Four (Admin, Fire, Service and LE)
Admin - 11 Repeaters
Fire - 10 Repeaters
LE - 3 Repeaters
Service - 4 Repeaters

Wiki has it as

RADIO SYSTEM​

The Sierra National Forest has an "Emergency Net" and an "Admin Net." The emergency net is used by fire management and law enforcement. The admin net is for all other functions. Channels have been provided to enable direct or simplex communications on each net. The installation of 5 of 11 of the NIFC command frequencies in the primary group of channel assignments is unusual. Another unusual feature of the forest's radio system is that the repeater input or access tone is not transmitted on the output frequency, instead a different set of tones is transmitted on the output. For example, the input tone for the Shuteye Peak repeater is Tone 5 - 146.2, but the tone transmitted on the output frequency is 71.9. The assignment of the output tones of the remaining repeaters has not been determined. They are all in the lower frequency range of CTCSS tones, such as 71.9 and 77.0. The linking system the forest uses is to be determined. The system's hub remote base is likely on Musick Mountain or Mt. Givens.

I need to edit the description of the radio system to include the Service Net. The channel plan and the tone list reflect the Service Net's existence and which repeater sites include it. I have no information on the LE net and would not share it if I had any info anyway.

I needed to revise several areas of text. Thanks for pointing out my errors.
