RADIOS & TELEPHONES
FRS (Family Radio Service) radios are recommended. The NPS monitors FRS 1. These radios are also very useful for communication with other expeditions. The Kahiltna Base Camp and the 14,200-foot NPS Ranger Camp also monitor CB (Citizen Band) communications on Channel 19 which is the most commonly used frequency. CB radios should be 3 to 5 watt. These radios are line-of-sight and their usefulness depends upon your location on the mountain. You might be able to rent a CB radio from the air service you fly with, although it is important to inquire in advance as several air taxi operators no longer provide this service.
Cellular telephone service is available in the area, but coverage is limited in the mountains. Access is better at higher elevations (above 14,000 feet) depending on your location. Our local cellular service provider, Matanuska Telephone Association, has working agreements with all in-state providers as well as most major nation-wide service providers (except AT&T Wireless) including Verizon, Cingular, and US Cellular as well as many others. For details, please check with your cellular service provider.
Satellite phones work well in most areas and can be rented from:
