emergency communications
When trouble strikes, tune to 146.800 MHz to stay in contact with the amateur radio community.
The Heber/Overgaard repeater uses PL tone 162.2 Hz. If the repeater is out of service or out of your range, we can still use the repeater output frequency as a simplex channel for local communications. All hams should program both configurations into their radios.
The other primary EmCom channel is the 146.980 MHz ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) repeater on Mt. Elden near Flagstaff. This is the primary EmCom channel for the Coconino Amateur Radio Club.
The Rimlink repeaters also provide good communication across northern Arizona and all the way down into the Phoenix area. The nearest of these linked repeaters is the 146.720 MHz machine on Greens Peak.
Emergency communications on HF are generally on 3990 KHz or 7252 KHz. These are designated frequencies for Arizona RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service).
