When I get the chance I'll get the info...I really don't feel like knockin on Homeland Security's door; even if it is county level, and asking a lot of questions.


Isin't there H.A.M. radios that will let you go from VHF to UHF etc ? I would assume thats what they have...in therory

I'm not sure if it is just a CT thing but we have "STOCS" frequencies in our UHF and VHF radios. At a multi-agency incident, a "STOCS BOX" is brought in and setup. Basically, it is just a bunch of radios that receive and transmit on all bands.


No matter what band you are on, you go to STOCS1, STOCS2, etc. and this will take UHF, VHF, 800, Low Band, etc signals and "repeats" them to each band. If you have VHF and I have UHF, we both go to STOCS1 and via these devices, we can talk to each other.


Never used it but, 2 of our border towns have these devices available should we need one.
