Why do the logging roads have the RR channel number posted but do not post the corresponding frequency?

if it says RR 25, just set your radio to RR25

Just make sure if you have boefangs to start it at 001, not 000, as is an option when you first get them, under CHIRP software.
RR1 = 001
If you don't, RR1 starts at 000 (which is a pain on the brain at times.)
Above post is great as it shows the frequency to put in before you go out and do it at home.

Some signs do post the corresponding RR frequencies . . .

They were changed to make it "easy"

Plus the fact that user programable radios are not permitted.

Google Radio road frequencies and you’ll find them all. So much easier than the old days of randomn channels and frequencies.

Just make sure you program the frequency as "narrow"

Some radios are not even 'narrow' capable.

I do find the RR's and LD's handier than the old system, especially when going into different areas of the province. That said, many companies I work for still keep their traditional 'wide' frequencies to work on, which can pose issues when you need to pass through a worksite.
