For disaster communication in the ASNC area, tune to FRS Channel 2 (Alternate: Ch 12)
Ham Radio Operators should also tune to Battalion 2 simplex 145.585 MHz, PL 110.9
If you obtain a GMRS license (see RADIO REGULATIONS below) you may use all
channels 1-22 and “high power”(up to 5 watts) on channels 1-7 and 8-22 (see chart
immediately below).
Most (but unfortunately not all) of the FRS and FRS/ GMRS radios (Motorola, Midland,
Cobra, etc.) use the same channel numbers for the same frequencies as all the other such
radios. What is important is the frequency, not the channel. The chart below shows
what channel is set to what frequency from the popular Motorola Talkabout’s Instruction
Manual. In this Arroyo Seco CERT Communications Manual we will be giving some
channels for you to use for our CERT communications. We will always give you
Motorola Talkabout channel, followed by the frequency in parentheses. We use the
channel numbers for simplicity because most radios use this channel plan and it is easier
to follow for most of us. However, each of you should find the chart for your radio and
make sure it is the same as this one. If so you can follow the channel numbers we give. If
it is not the same find the frequency after the Motorola Talkabout channel we give (in
parentheses, with MHz after it), see what channel your radio uses for that frequency and
use that channel.
