we are a combination department. Everyone is issued the same - Minitor 3 or 5 depending on what's available, and a Motorola XTS2500 800mhz handheld with lapel mic.

I have a minitor II with stored voice, (that i bought off ebay), and no radio yet, my department is working on switching everyone to minitor IV's and V's we will have to any way when we get our low band license, the II's and III's aren't going to work. Our EMC( emergency management Coordinator) is working on getting the county new digital radios also.

Minitor V High Band Pagers and Motorola VHF Radios with our 2 department frequencies. Our county is still on low band but we use a repeater system to be able to communicate with everyone which is effective but not perfect. The county will go to VHF sometime in the future - hopefully soon since they have only be talking about it now for over 2 years.

We just have radios issued to us, I was carrying a Ritron Patriot (which truly is ff proof). We also have some Icon's but I'm not sure what the model is, and last January the officers all got new Icons (I think) that have so many bells and whistles and channels on it but they were almost free with the homeland security grant. As i commented on another page, We have considered getting pagers also but to us it is a waste since they cost almost as much as a radio and you can't talk on them. Sure they only go off when the tones drop but so did my radio, I had a page channel that i left it on all the time since I don't like listening to county doing car stops, and domestics. Yes, it is bigger and heavier than a pager but it is handier also.

We use Kenwood TK-280's with a lapel mic for now. There was talk about upgrading but it was put on hold for now.
