Hey all,
So I've got a trip coming up going through BC and Alberta. We may hit some forest Service roads that are designated as Resource Roads and thus have a protocol for calling out at set KM's on a specific RR (Resource Road) channel.
I've been able to find the frequencies, they look to be outside my ham TX frequencies of 144–148, 430–450MHz (I do have the Mars Mod but can't figure out if that includes these frequencies or not)
I know I can RX on these frequencies, but if the expectation is I have to TX I think I'd have to by an LMR and get a separate license (can I even get a license in Canada as a non resident?). just curious of others experience/input. I live close enough that I'm not opposed to it if needs be, just wondering if I'm missing anything info that might help prevent running a 2nd radio/license just for the rare RR trip.
