Mounted search and rescue

["IRVIN LICHTENSTEIN" <ilichten1@verizon.net>]

There has been some discussion as to typing and possible interaction between SAR organizations. A critical factor in such interaction is the ability to

talk to each other via radio.  What I want to do is collect data as to what type of radio system your organization uses in the field. If you have programmable

radios the band is sufficient. If you cannot change frequencies in your radios in the field please indicate what frequencies you use. A sample response is below:

 

Southeast Pennsylvania SAR

SE PA, USA

10 148-174 VHF FM portables

2   800MHz digital trunk portables (usable only on home county system)

County VHF alpha paging

 

The feds have declared that interoperability is required among responders.  If you CANNOT talk directly to other responders (local fire, EMS) please indicate that also.

 

 

Thank you,
