Also included on this page are:
* the preferred digital frequencies
* frequencies used by RACES in neighboring counties

Frequencies used by Morris municipalities for their operation are found on the Municipal RACES page.

Primaries

To Contact: Rx, ID (Tx Offset, TX tone)
Morris County RACES Units 146.895 MHz, WS2Q (- .600, PL 151.4) -

* NOTE:

In northeastern Morris County, access to the WS2Q repeater (146.895 MHz) is available via links sponsored by the Butler RACES/OEM:

bullet444.925  MHz, WB2FTX/R  ( + 5.00, PL 151.4)
bullet147.135  MHz, WB2FTX/R  ( + .600, PL 141.3)  (eff. 10/23/02)

This link should provide coverage for Butler, Riverdale, Kinnelon, Pompton Plains, Pequannock and hopefully Lincoln Park. Because signals will favor the north, it should also extend coverage into northern Passaic county, i.e. Bloomingdale, Wanaque, Pompton Lakes, Ringwood and West Milford.

Both machines and the link to 146.895 are emergency powered. The 2 meter machine has auto-patch and speed dial functions which are available to RACES/ARES members; contact Dave Struebel WB2FTX.
