There is a pre-configuration for Butano Canyon. It is installed in our radios by a Mr. Peter C or Casey. It is mostly a set of walkie talkie channels, with bonus channels.

There is a radio test every Saturday Morning 9am IIRC

These sorta work up and down the canyon. We're figuring out the range from the various neighborhoods. Catherine has heard parts of a conversation between Mitchell at the Falls and Ken - Mitchell was using a stock antannea.

Reaching the Outside World

there is a Ham radio uplink to a 'repeater' up on South Ranch Road on the North Ridge. The MOST SIMPLE way to listen to the repeater is to dial in the repeater's output frequency. This is 146.730 s 114.8 and some other stuff, but that's enough for right now.

the two highlighted lines contain the settings for accessing the Repeater. This is from the La Honda groups 'coastal' specifications. Every line with a name containing a '3' represents community channel assignments from about the Fire Stations in HMB south to the county line.

CMD31 is the Repeater's two way setting CMD31D is the repeaters 'broadcast frequency' - or Direct line.
