[[Operations at Fire Stations#Orange Go-Kits|The]] BEECN system is a ''hierarchical'' network of communication nodes, with the objective of passing radio messages between neighborhoods and the EOC. The foundation of the network is the 50 BEECN UHF handheld radios transmitting from every area of Portland. Each BEECN has a primary relay point, which is the [[Operations at Fire Stations#Orange Go-Kits|VHF Orange Go-Kit]] at the nearest fire station. Radio messages are then relayed from the fire station up to the EOC. Radio messages also come ''from'' the EOC ''to'' the BEECNs.

#If no contact is possible on the Multnomah County ARES Resource Net via the MC-2 repeater, AROs should attempt to make a simplex contact with the Resource Net using the output frequency of the MC-2 repeater: 147.280 MHz, which can be accomplished using MC-12 stored in memory channel 12.

== Exchanging Radio Traffic: Fire Stations ==
=== Prowords ===
VHF radio operators should use the most current radio prowords. A table is available at: [[Prowords for Traffic Handling]] (which is a more detailed table than BEECN handheld radio operators are expected to use).
=== VHF Channel Assignments ===
The two primary channels used by BEECN amateur radio operators at fire stations are Channel 2 for the Resource NET and Channel 20 for the BEECN Tactical Net.   
* The primary purpose of the '''Resource NET''' is to coordinate amateur radio resources throughout Multnomah County.  As such, it should be a valuable resource for amateur radio operators at fire stations, when it is active.
* The primary resource for direct communication between radio communications between fire stations and the Portland Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a '''BEECN Tactical Net''' operated on Channel 20 on the BEECN VHF Amateur Radios found in the Orange go kits at the stations.  Channel 20 uses the simplex frequency 144.410 Megahertz, which is also known as PBEM NET-Tac 13 and BEECN Simplex.  This channel does not rely on repeaters being available.
* For more information the Resource Net and the Tactical Net see [[Operations at Fire Stations#Amateur_Radio_Script_for_Fire_Station_ARO_to_the_Resource_Net_and_the_Tactical_Net|Amateur Radio Scripts]].
* For more information on the channels available on BEECN VHF radios see [[Media:MCARES 2023 Frequency Template for BEECN VHF Radios.pdf|'''Channel Assignments Used in BEECN VHF Radios''']].

| OPENING
| Good [morning/afternoon], this is [NAME], [CALLSIGN],net control for the Multnomah County ARES/Portland NET team resource net.


This is a directed net, and all stations are asked to remain on frequency until directed by net control. This net will run until approximately [TIME] today and is a coordinating hub for Portland NET radio operators deploying to fire stations for the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management BEECN [drill/operations] today.


This is only an exercise. Stations are asked to check in with their callsign spelled phonetically and their fire station number. Station wishing to check into the net please come now.


[Record each check in callsign and fire station number]


Do we have any other stations wishing to check in to this resource net?

== APPENDIX: FS BEECN Channel Guide ==
All stations should now move to 144.410 Megahertz, which should be Channel 20 on your radio. Please return to this frequency at the end of the [drill/operational period] to check out.
The following table indicates which BEECNs each fire station will communicate with and the UHF channel to use:

| This is [NAME], [CALLSIGN], net control for the Multnomah County ARES/ Portland NET teams resource net. Thank you to all stations who participated in this [drill/operation] and to all other stations who stood by to give us a clear operating frequency. We also thank the Hoodview Amateur Radio Club for the use of this repeater. All stations may now secure. This net is closed at [TIME] and the frequency is now returned to normal amateur radio use. [CALLSIGN] clear.


b. Re-pack all equipment inside the orange Pelican case. If any equipment is missing, volunteers should indicate that at the end of the log along with any explanation as to why the equipment is missing. Volunteers may then leave the log inside the orange Pelican case, for PBEM to pick up later.

c. Volunteers should next return the Go-Kit to its storage area at the fire station and let PF&R staff at the station know that BEECN activities have ceased.

|OPENING||This is [NAME], [CALLSIGN] as W7ECC, City of Portland Emergency Coordination Center establishing net control for a Basic Earthquake Emergency Communication Node exercise. This exercise will last until approximately [TIME] and will involve communication between the City of Portland Emergency Coordination Center and various Fire Stations located in the city of Portland. This is only an exercise.
This is a directed net, and all stations are asked to remain on frequency until excused by net control. Only stations directly involved with this training exercise are asked to check in.


Stations are asked to check in with their tactical call sign, amateur operator call signs at their location, power source and presence or absence of the BEECN UHF radio operator at their location.

Every fire station in Portland is equipped with a VHF amateur radio called an "Orange Go-Kit" and an external antenna. This is the radio that an ARO at a fire station uses to communicate with Portland's EOC.
Each Portland Fire & Rescue fire station has an "orange go-kit:" a 55-watt Icom IC-2100H radio and a roof-mounted antenna. This is the radio that an ARO at a fire station uses to communicate with Portland's EOC.
 
NET volunteers are permitted to use this equipment if they have a valid FCC amateur radio license. <mark>The kit CANNOT leave the fire station, and so cannot be checked out.</mark> However, a volunteer can visit a fire station and use the radio there.  


Each kit includes a notebook with setup and operations instructions; therefore, set up information is not covered here. A video covering kit setup is also available in this article.

=== Fire Station Antenna Hookup ===
[[File:2016.10.02.Antenna Box.jpg|thumb|''An antenna hookup box outside a fire station, for use with the Orange Go-Kit.'']]
Every fire station is also equipped with a hookup to the antenna installed on the fire station roof. Almost always, these hookups are in a metal box on the outside of the fire station.<br />
