    FSR radio reciever

    There are time's on some steep narrow FSR that I worry about meeting a logging truck coming down. Is there a standard radio frequency that a person can get a radio receiver for ???

    there's frequencies usually marked on the roads.
    another thing I do, when I know there's active logging in the area, is wait for a truck heading in and follow him.
    I guess that doesn't work for road hunters though, they'd never keep up.

    You need a license to buy one of those radios in Canada and they are over a G-note. But you can buy them from China on Ebay for as low as $250 at times and they work great and they dont ask to see a license to sell you one.

    I don't know if it's a trend, but when I was using fsrs in the chilcotin this fall I didn't
    recognize the frequency numbers displayed on some of the major haul roads and my
    scanner didn't pick up any chatter when left on 'roam' like it does elsewhere in the
    province. I'm not sure, but I wonder if they have switched to digital or different
    frequencies similar to the police.

    The entire provincial Resource Road frequency system, including FSR`s is in a state of transition. There are 35 channels being implemented province wide for road use and another 5 or so for loading channels. The aim is to simplify the system so there is less confusion in respect to which road uses which channel and make it safer for the people working on these roads. Some areas of the province have completed the transition while others are in progress. You do not need a licence to monitor these frequencies, only to transmit on them.

    You can also buy a scanner and program in all the RR channels plus any old ones you come across.

    Just go to any local radio shop or ebay and buy a radio. If you get a icom or kenwood you can have them programed in any area. Your suppose to have a radio licence but in 20 years ive never been asked to produce it or herd anyone that has been. If ifs in a personal truck wouldnt worry about it.
