Team / Race Radios
At each race, there will be race communication from the league and health/medical calls and announcements. These are handled over the FRS channel 6, privacy code 6 which is NICA's league broadcast channel. In addition to this channel, each team has their own channel and privacy code assigned.
AHS has access to 4 dual-channel GMRS radios that will allow you to monitor both the NICA channel 6(6) [462.68750 (82.5)] and the Maroons channel 1(3) [462.56250 (74.4)] at the same time and choose which channel to respond to. AHS also has 4 single-channel FRS Rocky Talkies and 4 single-channel FRS TIDRadio TD-M11. If you're looking at Rocky Talkies and they seem expensive for what you're getting, take a look the TIDRadio TD-M11 instead... (2pack, 4pack, 10pack). Similar specs, lower battery life but Bluetooth programmable.
If you wanted to get your TD-M11 programmed, and AHS coach can write the channels to your radio with ODMaster software from his phone.
Below are 3 radio files that can be written to GMRS radios. These have NICA, AHS, and most other teams as well as Austin local repeaters and channels. These files can be installed with CHIRP or the manufacture's software and a USB 'data cable' for the radios.
Even if you don't have these exact radios, these files can help you. In the software, you can usually copy and paste the channel data from these files into a file that matches whatever radio you have. These 3 radios use three different software (Baofeng, Pofung, and CHIRP).
