Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Haul Channel
How about this: A road with a private frequency of 154.635 and a squelch tone of 156.7 Frequency= 154.635 MHz Frequency:squelch= 156.7 Hz A road with that uses CB channel 5 Frequency= 27.015 MHz Frequency:channel: CB 5 ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Haul Channel
Could the road be given property tags; tag haul_road=yes frequency= as per http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:frequency ? or a single property tag; frequency:haul_road= then use the same value system as key:frequency? That may make the meaning clear? As duplexing is not used you don't need to stipulate it. Haul channel is just the term I've heard used, the channel 9 I reference on the wiki is used on an actual road where it refers to 154.635 MHz. I'm not sure about the term haul_road. Given the ambiguity of the term (Isn't every road with truck traffic a haul road?) would it make more sense to just use frequency=XXX.XXX MHz on any road where applicable? This would eleminate the need for new tags. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Haul Channel
In Canada, privately licensed frequencies, not CB are used that have to be programmed into the scanner. There may or may not be repeaters, but since you only need to communicate with the traffic nearby it doesn't matter (there's no point in know that there is a truck moving 20km up the road. The system does not excuse bad driving, nor does it replace a satellite phone. What I assume Warin is talking about is extremely remote tracks with extremely low traffic, but the roads I'm referring to are logging or winter roads, which are remote, narrow and have heavy equipment moving down them at times (but at other times are empty) In my part of Canada such roads are open to the public and often accommodate different groups of people with different vehicles (everything from tractor trailers to long distance runners) Here is an example of a sign in BC that mercifully gives the frequency: http://valchev.net/peter/trips/bugaboos2013/.slide_20130725-130610.jpg This one, put up by the same agency has no indication of what frequency and just assumes you know what you're doing: http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd145/tamlog/20071009MatthewCreek/PA097831.jpg ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
