Here it is in text form.
REPEATER TECH NOTES
Star 911 Emergency 911 Star 912 City Dispatch No Emergency Star 913 CHP Dispatch Ventura Star 914 County Dispatch No Emergency Star 915 UCSB Police Dispatch Star 916 US Coast Guard Long Beach Star 917 SB Harbor Masters Office Star 918 AAA Auto Club Star 919 WWV Time Check Star 910 US Forest Service Dispatch
* SBARC Repeaters on 146.790 and 224.120 MHz support an Emergency Auto-Dial system. Both systems emulate each other with one exception. Emergency 911 on the 146.790 system will go to the City of Santa Barbara Dispatch and Emergency 911 on the 224.12 repeater will go to County Dispatch.
* 911 calls to County and City Dispatch know your location as a hilltop. If you ask to be transferred from County to City Dispatch or City to County Dispatch is discretionary by Dispatch and may not be granted. Non-Emergency Auto-Dial numbers for City and County may not immediately respond if Dispatch is fully engaged with 911 calls.
* The phone line at the La Vigia Hill site is shared between the 146.790 and 446.400 repeaters. The phone line at Santa Ynez Peak is shared between the 224.120 and 145.180 repeaters. Both 446.400 and 145.180 repeater controllers will be taken off the phone line until reconfiguring of their respective controllers is completed. If phone calls are heard on either repeater it is for test use only.
* All Emergency Auto-Dial operations are 24/7 with one exception. The City Harbor Masters office is a 7 day week 8 hour daytime business operation. If they do not answer the phone then call 911 for any harbor emergency.
* All Emergency Auto-Dial calls to CHP from either repeater will go direct to CHP Dispatch which is located in Ventura. CHP does not know where you are calling from so be prepared to tell them your location and explain that you are using a two-way radio. Be aware that forwarding of your call or report by CHP to either City or County Dispatch is discretionary and may not be granted.
* Testing any Emergency Auto-Dial number is not recommended with the one exception of WWV. WWV Time Check at Fort Collins is available for this purpose.
* Various timers on the Emergency Auto-Dialer are disabled. Executing an on-hook command is necessary to release the line.
