York Region Frequency Lists

The York Region Amateur Radio Club has defined a set of VHF and UHF channel numbers primarily for use by Public Service and EmComm.

The list tried to define a mix of repeaters and simplex frequencies to program into their radio memories so they can just say "let's meet on Channel 3", rather than having to say 145.350MHz, 103.5Hz, -600KHz shift.

Below is the list in PDF format (3 files) and .xls format with 3 tabs. If you are looking for the list to program your radio, someone may have already done the work. Just ask!

Please note: A team has been formed to review these lists based on repeaters being removed from service and new repeaters with digital technology being put in place.
