Nets and Alert Signals
Our weekly AESG Net is on the White Tank repeater each Tuesday evening at 8:00 p.m. The frequency of the White Tank repeater is 462.550 MHz, with the member tone or a CTCSS tone of 141.3 Hz. All licensed GMRS operators are invited to check in.
Nets may be used for events, exercises or AESG activations. Normally, these type nets are on the AGRC repeaters. In some cases, simplex frequencies may also be in use.
The long tone may be used for bulletins
and notification of critical information, such as weather warnings, evacuations or hazardous conditions. The dual tone alert will be used only for an AESG activation. Unplanned tests and exercises may occur at any time.
GMRS National Calling and Assistance Frequency
We encourage all licensed operators to use and monitor the national calling and emergency assistance frequency of 462.675 MHz. It may be used either in simplex (narrow band) or repeater mode with the 141.3 Hz tone. On most channelized GMRS / FRS radios, it is channel 20/tone 22. This is very useful when traveling or when in need of assistance. Put it in your scan list. The calling and assistance frequency is primarily for calling and making contact, motorist assistance, or emergencies. Longer conversations should be moved to another channel. Local repeater use may vary.
