I don't know about fire. Depends on the wave length. I had my icom programmed with forest service and blm frequencies for all the states I could find.

The F5021 is a VHF radio, looking at CFD they use UHF 470+MHz for their transmissions. Check with your local FD for frequencies that they use.

Looking to see if someone would be willing to point me to / share a copy of the "Master List" of frequencies that you are programming into your radios... I am looking to program my mobile unit (not handheld)

I have read and searched the forums and was not able to locate a post anywhere...

PM me or [email protected] if you want to email me what you have

Many Thanks in advance!!

Thanks T_J... but too much fluff and extra steps... How about just a list somewhere??

Someones gotta have a list somewhere other than the programming file

Don't want to download Chirp when I prob wont use it anyway...
