As
a former RF Telecommunications Technician, Systems
Analyst, and CAL FIRE telecommunications advisor,
I urgently recommend
residents near Fiddletown Road purchase a pair of
FRS radios set
to Channel 3 Tone 2
for use in case of emergency. FRS radios are inexpensive
($25/pair at Walmart) and provide excellent short
range (1-5 mi.) communications. They are a great Neighborhood
Watch tool, too.

Why
Chnl 3, Tone 2? I operate a licensed radio mobile and base
station with antenna at 100 feet AGL. The base station provides
FRS communications for several miles in any direction from
Brockman Mill and GMRS coverage for the entire length of
Fiddletown Rd. and Hwy 16. My commercial-grade transceivers
are programmed only for Tone 2 operation on all licensed
frequencies.
In conjunction with access to a wide selection of radio
communications equipment and decades of professional experience,
I am equipped to provide both local and worldwide emergency
communications.
