The Cleveland National Forest is the southern-most National Forest in California. Consisting of 460,000 acres, the forest offers a wide variety of terrains and recreational opportunities. On July 1st, 1908 President Theodore Roosevelt signed a declaration that created this National Forest. Now, more than 100 years later, the Cleveland National Forest provides habitat for native wildlife, as well as a natural refuge and playground for many of the 3 million plus residents in the greater San Diego area. This forest consists of mostly of chaparral, with a few riparian areas. A warm dry Mediterranean climate prevails over the Forest. A major issue on the forest is illegal immigration in the form of abandoned campfires, trash, user built trails and visitor safety.  The forest has a special hand crew (non fire) whose sole purpose is the clean up the mess left behind by illegal immigrates.

The forest is divided into the Trabuco (District 2 - Corona), Palomar (District 3 - Ramona) and Descanso (District 4 - Alpine) Ranger Districts with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Rancho Bernardo. Supervisor's Office personnel use #1 in their designators. The San Diego National Wildlife Refuge is occasionally heard on Cleveland NF nets and personnel use 8300 series numbers for personnel/apparatus designators.

This forest has a forest net, admin net and service net.  There are are no direct, or simplex, channels for these 3 nets. The number and location of remote bases is not known, but it would be safe to assume that there is one for each ranger district.  There are 11 repeater sites on the forest, with Forest Net repeaters on all 11, Admin Net on 8 and Service Net on just 3. There is one tone dedicated to the operation of a portable repeater that is capable of operating on all three nets.  The input or repeater selection tone is not transmitted on the repeater output frequency, rather all repeaters transmit Tone 8 (103.5) on the output.

The unit identifiers follow the '''function name''', district, position number system. Common function names include resources, timber, recreation, wilderness, OHV (Off Highway Vehicle management) lands, special uses, range, wildlife, watershed, soils, fisheries, engineer, engineering, roads, O & M (Operations and Maintenance), ecology and possible additional. Not every forest uses all of these and some ID the same unit with a different name, example some forests call their O & M and roads units "engineering." Employees assigned to the Forest Supervisor's Office have identifiers beginning with the number 1. The Cleveland National Forest Emergency Communications Center is co-located with Cal Fire's San Diego Interagency Communications Center.  The ECC also dispatches for the USMC Camp Pendleton (fire function  only), the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge Complex, the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge and the Viejas and Sycuan Indian Reservations. The wildlife refuge units have a four number ID system that starts with "83."  For engines the 3rd number is the engine type, e.g. 8330 is a Type 3 engine on the San Diego NWR. The ECC is a 24 hour operation and identifies as "San Diego" for Cal Fire and local fire departments and "Cleveland" for the Forest Service and other federal agencies.

Cleveland National Forest (CNF - Forest #02) "Cleveland" KME 2-3

The Cleveland National Forest is the southern-most National Forest in California. Consisting of 460,000 acres, the forest offers a wide variety of terrains and recreational opportunities. On July 1st, 1908 President Theodore Roosevelt signed a declaration that created this National Forest. Now, more than 100 years later, the Cleveland National Forest provides habitat for native wildlife, as well as a natural refuge and playground for many of the 8.9 million residents of San Diego, Orange and Riverside Counties. This forest consists of mostly of chaparral, with a few riparian areas. A warm dry Mediterranean climate prevails over the Forest. A major issue on the forest is illegal immigration in the form of abandoned campfires, trash, user built trails and visitor safety.

The Cleveland has the smallest area of conifer (needled trees) forest (93,000 acres) of any National Forest in California and the old growth portion of it is only 3,856 acres, almost all of it Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyi).

The forest is divided into the Trabuco (District 2 - Corona), Palomar (District 3 - Ramona) and Descanso (District 4 - Alpine) Ranger Districts with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Rancho Bernardo. Supervisor's Office personnel use #1 in their designators. The San Diego National Wildlife Refuge is occasionally heard on Cleveland NF nets and personnel use 8300 series numbers for personnel/apparatus designators.

RADIO SYSTEM

This forest has a forest net and admin net. The number and location of remote bases is not known, but it would be safe to assume that there is one for each ranger district. There are 12 repeater sites on the forest, with Forest Net repeaters on all 12 and Admin Net on 9. The number of Service Net repeaters and their location is not known. There is one tone dedicated to the operation of a portable repeater that is capable of operating on all three nets. The input or repeater selection tone is not transmitted on the repeater output frequency, rather all repeaters transmit Tone 8 (103.5) on the output. Direct or simplex communications are no longer conducted on special simplex channels as there are switches on radios to allow for direct communications on any repeater pair channel using the repeater output channel.

Other

The unit identifiers follow the function name, district, position number system. Common function names include resources, timber, recreation, wilderness, OHV (Off Highway Vehicle management) lands, special uses, range, wildlife, watershed, soils, fisheries, engineer, engineering, roads, O & M (Operations and Maintenance), ecology and possible additional. Not every forest uses all of these and some ID the same unit with a different name, example some forests call their O & M and roads units "engineering." Employees assigned to the Forest Supervisor's Office have identifiers beginning with the number 1. The Cleveland National Forest Emergency Communications Center is co-located with Cal Fire's San Diego Interagency Communications Center. The ECC also dispatches for the USMC Camp Pendleton (fire function only), the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge Complex, the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge and the Viejas and Sycuan Indian Reservations. The wildlife refuge units have a four number ID system that starts with "83." For engines the 3rd number is the engine type, e.g. 8330 is a Type 3 engine on the San Diego NWR. The ECC is a 24 hour operation and identifies as "San Diego" for Cal Fire and local fire departments and "Cleveland" for the Forest Service and other federal agencies.
