“They're going to be able to use this radio whether they're in Tok or up in Barrow to assist the responders so we're not doing that relay from dispatch center to dispatch center,” said Al Tamagni Jr., AFD lead dispatcher.
Yep, true interoperability.
With XTS/L-series radios. Running 700mhz P25.
Interoperable in Barrow, where they're running 800mhz analog.
Interoperable in Tok, where they're running VHF P25 (ALMR).
Why do I get the feeling some Moto salesman is gleefully rubbing his hands together right now, and telling the kids "It's OK, go ahead and apply to Harvard...My bonus check this year may surprise us all."?
