Change in 'Fire Travel Channels'?

Fire Travel channels being replaced with CESRS

The current fire travel channel frequencies ( a federal system ) are being re-farmed by the feds, and will no longer be available for use as of the coming fire season.

The state is scrambling for a replacement, and it looks like the CESRS system (California Emergency Services Radio System) run by OES, is the likely replacement.

I don't know if there will be separate systems North and South, but the use of CESRS for a fire travel net for strike teams is moving forward.

I show CESRS as:

154.980 input, various PL's depending on location
153.755 repeater output PL 192.8

Yes, CESRS is a statewide linked radio network. Sites can be linked from A to B to make statewide comms. However, Cuyamaca's link is (and has) been broken for quite some time now. So no linking out of SD, but it still works last time I used it.

It's setup is similar to Fish & Game's network.
