FOREST SERVICE RADIO SYSTEM The Ministry of Forests and Range (MOFR) or British Columbia Forest Service (BCFS) radio system is comprised of twenty-nine separate district systems in three regions, weather monitoring stations and an aircraft location and management system. The BCFS system is one of the largest systems in Canada - it includes base stations, mountain top repeaters, mobile units for vehicles, aircraft, and marine vessels, and handheld portable units for individual communication needs. The focus of the radio system has been to provide reliable two-way radio service to personnel required to operate in the rural and remote locations of British Columbia, and to provide emergency radio communications where and when required. The BCFS radio system operates like a party line phone, ALWAYS ASSUME OTHERS ARE LISTENING. AUTHORIZATION - INDUSTRY CANADA Licensing All Ministry radios are licensed.

  • 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.

  • ARRL Petition for Rulemaking for TDMA
    with and refinement of narrowband digital voice technologies at VHF and above, ARRL states as follows: I. Introduction. 1. The rule changes proposed in this Petition are necessary in order to facilitate experimentation with and implementation in the Amateur Radio Service of certain spectrum-efficient narrowband digital voice and data equipment and systems in the VHF, UHF and microwave bands. Specifically, the rule changes will permit licensed radio Amateurs to migrate to the use of spectrum-efficient narrowband digital technology and equipment which is now and has been in regular use in the Land Mobile Radio Service for several years. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology is one technology among several that can facilitate the gradual conversion from analog voice to narrowband digital voice and data technologies in the Amateur Service. It should clearly be permitted in Amateur allocations where other digital voice and data emissions are now permitted; but it is not. 2. Though Section 97.307(f) of the Commission’s Rules is not entirely clear on this subject, the present rules do not appear to permit single time slot TDMA emissions. The rules, however, clearly do permit multiple time slot TDMA. This is an anomaly in the existing rules enumerating and defining permitted emission types in the VHF Amateur bands and above. It is beneficial to address this anomaly and to flexibly allow the use of single-channel TDMA without delay. Compatibility with incumbent analog, western part of the United States and in the New York City area, but in several midwestern states as well. The legality of the use of these systems, however, was drawn into question only recently.
