ICS-205 Frequency Plan

Build a radio communications plan — incident header plus channel rows. Auto-saves on this device. Align channels with your PACE plan layers (Primary/Alternate/Contingency/Emergency).

PACE alignment: Map each ICS-205 row to a PACE layer — e.g. Ch 1 = Primary repeater, Ch 2 = Alternate simplex, Ch 3 = Contingency DMR, Ch 4 = Emergency HF. Open PACE planner side-by-side; both forms roll into the incident workspace export.
