Thanks for joining the radio clinic.
Here are some files and links I’ll be referring to during the clinic that you can download and have. This page will be available for at least a few days after the clinic.

Useful links and Documents
Here are two Caltopo links, Chirp files with the data in them, and word documents that list the information to the location of repeaters in WA (For USFS and North Cascades National Park) and NY DEC Rangers. There is also a Word Document with the USFS repeaters in the WMNF and a Chirp file from my UV-5R and the BF-F8HP with those WMNF, FRS, GMRS, and MURS frequencies all set up with Tone and Tone Squelch’s
Information about the emergency frequency in France, Italy and Switzerland.
In short it is 161.300 Tone 123.0. If I read this right in France and Italy press the push to talk button and punch the #21414 for an emergency and #21301 to test your radio. In Switzerland just talk. I would double check all of that though.
Below are three links that explain everything I know about the frequency.
