How do you use the 800 and VHF together is it one radion that does both or are there 2 sets?
IN was supose to go all 800 by the first of this year but they backed off that. I'm not sure what their plan is now.

We have created a site for responders run exclusively by responders... It is a place with great fellowship on the good days and solid and confidential support when the "bad call" happens. As a Chaplain of over 25 years we wanted a place that responders could come and receive the support for traumatic events with trained CISM responders and more.

Please join our site and invite your friends, too
