Multi band question

[jrb6940]

I hope this is the right forum for this question.

I had the oppurtunity to ride around with an ICE agent and got to talking to him about the radio in his truck. I figured out he had the Motorola W3 control head, but never got a chance to see what it was hooked up to. He went on to exlain that in one radio, he was able to have NY state police, PA state police, local agencies, Nationwide (SPEN), ICE (nationwide) radio systems as well as tac channels for surveillance. What motorola radio is able to hold all of these different systems? Im assuming the ICE nationwide is UHF, I know the Nationwide (SPEN) is low VHF and Im sure the tac channels are on the lower end of UHF.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - Jeff

Motorola makes a few models (others do as well) where a single control head can be used to control two independent radios to allow coverage of two bands. While it may look like a single radio to the user, it's actually two seperate ones. Not all radios will allow this and I believe that the radios in question need to be of the same type (both Spectras, for example).

Here is some information on the HHCH (Hand Held Control Head) with some information on its use in a dual radio configuration. Hand Hald Control Head (HHCH) and SYNTOR X 9000 Options and Accessories

Thanks!

I wonder if you get set up one on a 500 trunked system and another on 800 trunked system and scan in between.....
