According to 1984 FCC records, the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol,
Inc. has these stations licensed for Special Emergency
use in the Public Safety radio service:
Mt. Hood Ski Patrol, Inc
[Government Camp, O]_ 155.2050____KON213 (govt recds)
" [Government Camp, O]_ 155.2050____KON215 (govt recds)
" [Parkdale, OR]_______ 155.2050____KON216 (govt recds)
Transmitting equipment used on these frequencies must
be type accepted for this class of service. Thus, the
Kenwood TR2500 could not legally be used for transmis-
sion on these frequencies.
The FCC may be more flexible in emergency situations,
e.g., those in which life or property is in danger.
