Washington EmComm and Public Service information

PNWDigital.Net makes our resources available to support Washington state EmComm and other public service or public benefit organizations.  We have up to 4 dedicated talkgroups solely for use to support EmComm and public service activities.  2 of the talkgroups can be used simultaneously so two communications links can operate independently for additional traffic or for different purposes.  EmComm 1/2 talkgroups enable 7/24 monitoring without the bother of normal recreational DMR traffic.  Our network covers most of the state of Washington population.  Please contact our EmComm Team for additional information on how our services can assist you in your missions, nets, training and/or events.

We have affiliated with HamWAN which provides PNWDigital.Net with use of their microwave backbone IP network.  This increases the robustness of our network and provides us with less dependency on the public IP networks (Internet).  We are also working to provide MMDVM servers for additional "Bridgets" via HamWAN, a project in active development now.  We also have 2 additional POP's in Spokane and Tri-Cities besides our primary hub in Bremerton and all are now able to host our services rather than use distant IP loops that insert additional latency and additional vulnerability to failure at critical times..

UPDATES / CHANGES

1-22-21: More repeaters have been added to the network that are not listed below, see Repeaters

12-16-19:  PS 1 and 2 and EmComm 1 and 2 have been depublished.  Misuse and use by non-EmComm or public service groups is the primary reason.  PNWDigital.Net fully supports these services but now, these groups will need to reach out to our EmComm Team for more information and authorization.  Nets, drills or other non-priority uses of PS 1 and PS 2 will need to be scheduled/approves by our "Nets Manager".  Contact nets@pnwdigital.net  The scheduling helps PNWDigital.Net  and the EmComm groups as announcement can be made OTA during our weekly system wide nets as well as posting in IO groups and in the IO Group calendar.

2-1-19:  Added EmComm 1 and 2  talkgroups.  For use by EmComm groups only and only on their repeater(s).  It is a local only talkgroup and not linked elsewhere unless by agreement. As it is dedicated only for EmComm use or as per the local policy, it can be used for monitoring up to 7/24 without the distractions of the normal DMR traffic.

9-17-17: PS 1 and PS 2 have been added to all participating WA repeater managers including HKS's Sultan repeater on Haystack.  PS 1 is FT with 120 minutes of hold-off and PS 2 is PTT for 60 minutes connect time and with 60 minutes of hold-off time.  Hold-off timers silence networked talkgroups on that timeslot per repeater or repeater group (manager) to reduce outside TG activity.
