BALTIMORE -- Imagine that you are the communications chief for a major metropolitan area. One evening your home phone rings and your shift commander advises that, as best as he can tell, your radio system has just stopped working. Luckily there are no major incidents working but you both know that could change at a moment's notice. After you hang up the phone, you rush to get dressed and head in. You live 30 minutes from the communications center, but today the drive feels like it takes days. The radio is eerily quiet.
