Tac 30 uses Guardian 2 for a lot of things.

Does anyone know if King County had 2 copters patrolling tonight? Heard Guardian 1 asking Guardian 3 there location on MARS and then heard the Southwest Dispatcher asking units if they needed either Guardian 1 or 3 in the SeaTac area.

I dunno if they still do it, but when there's more than one up, they used to chat on 153.755 (123.0), the old KCSO Spec Ops F-3.

Okay im confuse. How many birds do King County have? I heard Guardian 1, and 2 but never heard of Guardian 3? If there is a 3 what is it used for?

When Guardian ask other unit to switch to f3 are they switching ti 153.755 (123.0)? If right are there any other none 800MHz freq they use?

King County has 4 helicopters in the Air Support Division, they have 2 OH-58 Kiowas, 1 UH-1 Huey and a Jet Ranger.

On Page 1 of this thread is a picture of Guardian 1 (OH-58 Kiowa), on Page 2 there is a picture of Guardian 2 (UH-1 Huey) and in the background on the left side is Guardian 3 (OH-58 Kiowa) and located by the tail rotor is Guardian 4 (Jet Ranger) which is blue in color.

Guardian 1 and 3 both have FLIR and Nightsun systems to be used on regular patrol. Guardian 2 is used for SAR and Special Operations while Guardian 4 (Blue Jet Ranger) is used for training and Special Operations (Undercover flights).
