Text messages use less bandwidth and may work better. • Keep non-essentials calls to a minimum – free up the resources for others. • Keep an AM/FM radio handy • Portola Valley AM Radio – 1680 on your AM dial. 24x7 operational. 5 Basic Disaster Radio Communications Your radio is one of your tools. Most tools require skill to use them well. And remember… Put more effort into solving the problem and less effort into communicating the problem to someone else. 6 The Rules In the United State the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates all aspects of radio transmissions including: • Who is eligible to use a radio service and for what purposes • What frequencies and transmission modes may be used • Technical specification for the radio equipment • Fines up to $10,000 per day for unlicensed use of frequencies. • Possible criminal charges if you cause interference with other radio users, such as police/fire, etc. 7 FCC Defined Radio Services Service Use License? Test? Repeaters? Family Radio Service Family Use No No No (FRS) General Mobile Radio General Use Per No Yes Service (GMRS) Household Multi-Use Radio General Use No No No Service (MURS) Amateur (aka Ham) Hobbyists, Emergency Individual Yes Yes Public Safety Police/Fire/EMS Entity No Yes Business/Industrial Commercial Entity No Yes 8 What is FRS? • Family Radio Service (FRS) is an FM walkie-talkie radio service designed for short distance (<5 miles) personal communications. • Uses channelized frequencies around 462 and 467 MHz in the UHF band • There are 22 channels available. • Sub-channels, also known as CTCSS or PL tones, are available on all models • Antenna must be permanently attached. • No license required. Typical 0.5 to 1 mile range. 9 What is GMRS? • General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a land-mobile FM UHF radio service designed for short distance two- way communications. • A GMRS licensee may use a combination of portable, mobile, fixed and repeater stations. • There are 22 simplex channels available on all radios and 8 repeater channels on some radios. • Mobile and base stations are permitted to 50 watts of power and external antennas. • Household GMRS licenses at http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls, $70 for 10 years, new rules effective Sept 2017 10 New Rules for FRS/GMRS (Sept 2017) • As of September 2017, manufacturers can not sell combined FRS/GMRS radios, as was very common with most “bubble pack” radios in the past. • Radios sold prior to this date are now legal to use without a GMRS license at 2 watts or less. • Use of these radios on GMRS repeater input frequencies still require a GMRS license. 11 What is MURS? • Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) is a land-mobile FM VHF radio service designed for short distance two-way communications. • 5 Channels in VHF Band • External Antennas are allowed. • A MURS transmitter must be certified by the FCC. • No License Required 12 Handheld vs Mobile/Base Radios • Handheld / Portable • Aka “Walkie-Talkie” or “HT” • < 10 W • Battery Powered • Integrated Antenna • Mobile or Base Radio • Requires External Power Source • External Antenna (Car / Roof Top) • Higher Power (30+ Watts) 13 Radio Range • VHF/UHF Radios are “line of sight”. Obstructions such as hills, mountains and buildings can block the signal. • Radio to radio communications without the use of a repeater is called “Simplex”. • Handheld simplex effective range is 0.5-3 miles but can be further under ideal conditions. • Antenna Position and Height is often more important than power. 14 Radio Range & Repeaters A radio repeater can extend the effective range to all over an area. 15 Radio Functions Power Rechargeable Pack AA Battery Pack 16 Radio Functions On - Off On-Off Volume & Volume Volume On-Off & Volume On-Off 17 Radio Functions Setting the Channel Channel Display Channel Selection Channel Button Selection Knob Channel Display Channel Up-Down Buttons 18 Radio Functions Push-To-Talk (PTT) Push To Talk Button 19 Questions?

No “10 codes” or jargon. • Speak in a normal tone of voice and speak clearly. • Hold the radio vertically for best performance. • Key radio firmly BEFORE you talk, it takes a fraction of a second for it all to turn on 22 Radio Protocols Calling another station Think about what you are going to say, then press the PTT button. Use agreed-upon call signs: . “Command Post, this is Team 1” Wait for response which should be: . “Team 1, go ahead” 23 Radio Protocols Closing the Loop Acknowledge the other person: . “Team 1 Copies” . Or just “Copy” . “Thank you” . “Acknowledged” Etc. 24 Questions? Questions? 25 What is Amateur Radio? Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space, all without the Internet or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need. 26 Getting your Amateur License • License exams are administered (via Zoom) by Volunteer Examiners (VE), FCC controls the questions. • Test is a blend of amateur radio principles, rules and mission, with a little tech. • Online Study Resources: • www.hamstudy.org • www.kb6nu.com/study-guides/ • www.arrl.org/licensing-education-training • A little study, take practice tests, schedule an exam. 27 End of Module 1 5 Minute Break 28 Radio Systems used by WPV-CERT WPV-CERT Handheld Radios (GMRS Service) WPV-Ready Division Radios Amateur Radio (aka Ham Radio Service) 29 WPV-CERT Communications Links County OES - Area EOC Ham Radio Ham Radio Woodside Emergency Portola Valley Emergency Ham Radio Operations Center (EOC) Ham Radio Operations Center (EOC) (Until EOC is (Until EOC is Ham Radio Operational) Operational) LVHF-Ch 1 LVHF-Ch 2 WPV-CERT WPV-CERT WPV-CERT Woodside Branch PV Branch Skyline Branch Command Post LVHF-Ch 3 Command Post LVHF-Ch 3 Command Post UHF 1st LVHF-Ch1 GMRS DMR 2nd Runner Rptr (Cmd/ Tac) 1st LVHF-Ch2 WPV-Ready CERT CERT Division Member Teams 12/6/2020 MDD 31 WPV-CERT Handheld Radios • CERT Members to CERT Command Post Communication • Intra-Team Communications (Tactical Channels) • Stay up to date on changes to Staging and Command Post locations • Stay in touch with other CERT members when regular communications fail, such as a Public Safety Power Shutoffs 32 WPV-CERT Handheld Radios • Video showing use of WPV-CERT Handheld Radio 33 WPV-CERT Handheld Radios • YouTube WPV-CERT radio training video now available • Weekly Practice Sessions – Tuesdays at 7:30PM • Purchase your own radio at wpv-cert.org/buy • License available from the FCC at www.fcc.gov/wireless/support/fcc-form-605, 47 CFR Part 95 34 WPV-CERT Radio Channels Repeater Channels Woodside .

Choos- ing just one from the variety of radio models is a challenge! The • Manufacturer’s Directory good news is that most commercially manufactured Amateur Radio equipment performs the basics very well, so you shouldn’t be overly concerned about a “wrong” choice of brands or models. This guide is intended to help you make sense of common features and decide which are most important to you. We provide explanations and defini- tions, along with what a particular feature might mean to you on the air. This publication is aimed at the new Technician licensee ready to acquire a first radio, a licensee recently upgraded to General Class and wanting to explore HF, or someone getting back into ham radio after a period of inactivity. A technical background is not needed to understand the material. ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION After this introduction and a “Quick Start” guide, there are two main sections; one cov- ering gear for the VHF and UHF bands and one for HF band equipment. You’ll encounter a number of terms and abbreviations--watch for italicized words—so two glossaries are provided; one for the VHF/UHF section and one for the HF section. You’ll be comfortable with these terms by the time you’ve finished reading! We assume that you’ll be buying commercial equipment and accessories as new gear.

It is challenging, educational, and fun. But it can lead to frustration, even for non-participants.” DXing, the quest to contact distant stations, is as old as Amateur cumstances.

    Two‐Way Radio Week 42

    52 Weeks of Preparedness – Two‐way Radio Week 42 By Don Gardner Clearwater County Office of Emergency Management Can you imagine how you will communicate with your family during an emergency when no cell phones are working? Could this even happen? Yes, it can, and it has, even here in Clearwater County. When disasters occur, the public often loses several means of communicating all at once. If you remember during the fires of 2015 the cell phone system was overloaded and many landlines didn’t work. First responders rely on two‐way radios daily and when disasters strike, and so can we. The are many times you can use two‐way radios with your family and friend like during a disaster, or, more commonly, when camping, hunting, during ATV and snowmobile adventures, and between cars when traveling. It may seem like an old fashion technology, but it is so reliable. There are many types of radios you can use and each provides different capacities and expense. Today we will cover four varieties that could work for you. Family Radio Service (FRS) and the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radios are low‐power, inexpensive handheld ‘walkie talkies,’ which can be used for short‐distance communications. Most of these radios are sold as a combo sets with both the FRS and GMRS channels in one radio. You will find them in the sporting goods section of stores. The packages often exaggerates and say they will work for 20‐50 miles or more. Generally, the actual range of FRS/GMRS radios will be significantly less than advertised.
  • Amateur Radio Repeater Basics

    Amateur Radio Repeater Basics

    Amateur Radio FM Repeater Basics Al Duncan – VE3RRD Updated October 2007 For a list of frequencies of operation for Canadian Amateur Radio operations, refer to RBR-4 “Standards for the Operation of Radio Stations in the Amateur Radio Service” which can be found on the Industry Canada website at: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/internet/insmt-gst.nsf/en/sf05478e.html Schedule I lists frequencies for the various “ham bands” in use (Canada is in IARU Region 2). The bands most often used for FM repeater operations (listed in order of popularity) are: 144 – 148 MHz referred to as the “2 meter” band (2M band) 430 – 450 MHz referred to as the “440 band” or the “70cm band” 50 – 54 MHz referred to as the “6 meter band” 28 – 29.7 MHz referred to as the “10 meter band” 220 – 225 MHz referred to as the “220 band” or “1 ¼ meter band” or “125 cm band” 902 – 928 MHz referred to as the “900 band” 1240 – 1300 MHz referred to as the “23 cm band” Note that the name “2 meter”, “70 cm” etc. refers to the approximate wavelength of the radio wave. Within these frequency ranges, “standards” have been created as to what frequencies can be used for repeater transmit (output) and receive (input). In most cases, FM (frequency modulation) is used with repeater operations. The most popular transceivers available today will either be “2M only” or “2M/440 dual-band”, with the occasional model offering three or even four bands of operation. Simplex When you wish to talk to another ham without using a repeater, a “simplex” frequency is used.
