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 Angeles National Forest is located in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles County in southern California. It was established on July 1, 1908, incorporating portions of the San Bernardino National Forest and parts of the former Santa Barbara (now Los Padres) and San Gabriel National Forests. It covers 655,387 acres and is located just north of the densely inhabited metropolitan area of Los Angeles and adjacent cities.
+
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 Angeles National Forest manages the habitats, flora and fauna ecosystems, and watersheds of the largest open space in Los Angeles County. Some of the rivers with watersheds within its boundaries provide valuable groundwater recharge water for Southern California. The existing protected and restored native vegetation absorb and slow surface runoff of rainwater to minimize severe floods and landslides in adjacent communities.  Most of the forest is covered with dense chaparral, which changes to pine and fir covered slopes on the peaks of the higher elevations.  The land within the Forest is diverse, both in appearance and terrain. Elevations range from 1,200 to 10,064 feet.
+
The forest is divided into the Descanso (District 2), Palomar (District 3) and Trabuco (District 4) Ranger Districts with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Rancho Bernardo.
  
−
The forest contains some 29,000 acres of old growth, consisting of Jeffrey Pine (''Pinus jeffreyi''), Douglas-fir (''Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii''), Ponderosa Pine (''Pinus ponderosa''), White Fir (''Abies concolor''), and Lodgepole Pine (''Pinus contorta'').

The residents of Los Angeles County are located within a two hour drive of the forest and the 16 million residents of the five county southern California metro area are within a half day drive of the Angeles.  It is likely that the largest frequent gathering and concentration of people on any area of National Forest land in the U.S occurs in San Gabriel Canyon. Traffic accidents on the Angeles Crest Highway, human caused fires, law enforcement, search and rescues occur at a rate not seen on any other National Forest.  The close proximity often leads to crimes being committed on the forest.  An oft repeated joke about this forest is that if every dead body on the Angeles got up and started walking, the population of L.A. County would increase by 10%!  This is an extraordinarily difficult forest to manage.  The Angeles is divided into the Los Angeles River (District 1), the San Gabriel River (District 2), and the Santa Clara/Mojave Rivers (District 3) Ranger District, with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Arcadia.

−
Most radios on the forest have 9 frequencies in common: ANF Channels 1 and 2 (Forest Net), ANF Channels 3 and 4 (Admin Net), two National Air to Ground frequencies and NIFC tactical channels 1 through 3.  Each ranger district and crews within each ranger district, may have different channel lineups, but they will usually have these nine in common. The variations between ranger districts and crews involve frequencies belonging to other agencies such as Los Angeles County Fire, San Bernardino County Fire, Cal Fire, and the Bureau of Land Management, as well as frequencies of adjacent National Forests.  The agencies and areas that each ranger district interact with for mutual aid are different for each district.   
+
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.   
−
 
 
−
ANF Channels 1 and 2 are called the "Forest Net" and are used primarily for fire and emergency traffic. ANF Channels 3 and 4 are called the "Admin Net."  Admin is used by all non-fire personnel, including law enforcement.  Channels 1 and 3 are simplex frequencies and channels 2 and 4 are repeated.
 
−
 
 
−
When users transmit on channels 1 and 3 using tone 8 (103.5 Hz) their transmission can be received by dispatch on the forest's 9 microwave linked remote bases.  These remote bases are linked to dispatch located at Fox Field near Lancaster and the Forest Supervisor's Office in Arcadia.  Most of these remote bases are co-located with repeaters and some are not.  When someone communicates to dispatch on these channels it is not picked up by a repeater and receiving them requires being close enough to receive simplex traffic. On the other hand, if users transmit on channels 2 and 4, the tone in use must match a repeater within range or their transmission will not be heard. The Angeles National Forest radio system is comprised of 13 repeater sites situated on various mountain peaks in and around the forest which are linked to the dispatch center at Fox Field near Lancaster. Each repeater site functions as both a repeater and as a receiving antenna for dispatch. 
 
−
 
 
−
The 9 remote bases are located at:  Fox Field (dispatch office), Arcadia (Forest Supervisor's Office), Frazier Peak, Warm Springs, Magic Mountain, Mt. Lukens, Blue Ridge, Johnstone Peak and Santiago Peak.  Those remote bases that are not co-located with a repeater are:  Fox Field, Arcadia, Warm Springs and Blue Ridge.

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 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 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 Descanso (District 2), Palomar (District 3) and Trabuco (District 4) Ranger Districts with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Rancho Bernardo.

RADIO SYSTEM

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.

Other

The unit identifiers follow the function name, district, position number system. 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 Monte Vista 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 San Diego Refuge units IDs start with a "5." It is a 24 hour operation. The ECC identifies as "Cleveland."
