SDR information


Local Chirp files – Band Plan

A chirp file is used to program your radio to specific frequencies for local communication.  I’ll be uploading soon – Backcountry, Purgatory Ski resort, EMS, S&R, and even Durango city works.  Please be aware that these frequencies are not to be used to gawk or drive to an emergency.
