During the update process, efforts have been made to more closely follow the Utah Band Plan as it relates to simplex frequencies in the VHF and UHF bands.
As you recall, our primary net frequency was previously adjusted to follow the Utah Band Plan for VHF frequencies. At that time I did not review the band plan for UHF frequencies, where I would have noticed a change was also needed there.
To correct that oversight, the UHF frequency for our net will adjust to 446.500 MHz. It took me longer than anticipated to send this update to the net members, therefore I propose we make the change between the September and October net meetings, and begin using this new frequency as the cross-band repeat transmit frequency for the October 15th net meeting.
As we move to make this change, if I can help with programming of radios I would be happy to do so. I have software and cables for Kenwood TMD700, many of the Baofeng handheld radios and some of the Anytone mobile radio models.
***Note: The last change I submitted - to add new frequencies for Newton Town, and to display the Benson Stake frequencies under every community represented by this net - has not been published to the document, yet. It was a recent request and I'm sure it will be reflected there as soon as possible.
Below is a copy of that revision submitted to the list managers. Please click on the image to see a larger view. If any City or Town ARES organization in our part of the county would like to select their own frequencies they have room to do so by contacting the list managers, but the frequencies we use for this net will also be displayed under each city or town represented in the Benson Utah Stake.
