An example
Here is a map with the channels listed for parts of region 8 and 3, if it says channel 18 for example, then you will have received a list with the channels on it from the dealer and the guy who programmed your radio may have put channel 18 on your radio on channel 10 for example. I just bought one and they gave me a list of everything.
My radio only has lets say 12 channels, which is enough to cover a large area like the map shown, however if you go to lets say
ft st john and you want that channel put into your radio then the guy will just program that for you when your going there to hunt.
I stand to be corrected, but I believe that the entire province runs on RR channels now. RR1 in Region 3 is the same frequency as RR1 in another region. There are still repeaters for company channels which will have far greater reach. As has been stated, get one if you can and use it if you’ve got it. It’s been my experience on active roads that the real danger isn’t especially the logging trucks but rather the equipment operators. They run a different schedule than the trucks, and are generally in a he** of a hurry. I call when leaving pavement, at intersections where there’s a channel change, and all the “must call” boards.
I posted a link to the Provincial Gov't site with info on resource roads back a couple pages, post #20. If folks would take the time to explore that & the links it provides, most questions will be answered. Here's a link to the Gov't of Canada site that provides the RR numbers & frequencies assigned to them. I think most of the province is now standardised, but on the BC provincial site it still says that information posted at the road supersedes what's posted on line.
