| Post subject: | SAR operations in Washington |
So I am getting a bit curious about SAR operations in Washington state. It looks like the primary communcations is on National SAR (155.16) in most areas plus the usual local channels? |

Pretty much, I ran into a group here in Olympia that provides communications much like Mtn Wave does and they were using 151.625 with a tone. I think most every SAR group in the NW has 155.160 in their channel plan. Even Lewis County Sheriff uses it as a C/C occasionally. |

They call it 'SAR'; never heard anything on it...I think ski patrol uses it talking with Seattle Mountain Rescue. PCSD has it as F-11, labelled "SAR", running CSQ. AMR ambulance dispatches on it in King County. PCOBS has it as F-3 in their portables, "SAR", also CSQ. |

I believe that this freq. is technically open to a lot of Agencies. When I was active with SAR we didn't use it much in Eastern Wa because some School District in Yakima County was using for their school bus drivers. This was quite a while ago. |

Snohomish County SAR operates on 155.415. Which in turn is patched to TG 1616 on the SERS 800 trunk system. |

Interesting info guys. In Oregon, we are kind of spoiled by having a statewide SAR channel on VHF... |

That school district still uses it with a tone of 179.9. The school district I'm thinking it might be has a bunch of new NB licenses so that problem may be alleviated here soon. |

King County mostly uses 153.755. The only time I've ever seen 155.16 used is for large missions with units from multiple counties responding, and not always then. |

Ski Patrol uses it at Snoqualmie, channel tag "SPART" for Ski Patrol and Rescue Team. I've heard Airlift talking to them on it a few times when they pickup someone from the upper lot at Alpental. |

Wonder what else changed since last year...When I was there Nov-Apr, Ch-5 was just tagged "SAR" in all the radios I had. Updates? |

Yes, thats correct. its CSQ on the receive side; some groups run a TX tone only because in neighboring states, there is a few repeaters with that as an input. |

I'm hearing a Med Com unit on 155.215 and Sheriff on 155.160 from Monroe. The 155.160 sounds like it's coming out of the south end of Seattle-Tac. Other listed SAR chnls are school buses. That's exciting to listen too!......:) |
