From the state patrol's wesitetriryche said:Question I have is how does the State or anyone else for that matter communicate with Forest Co. in a situation such as this?
"The Wisconsin State Patrol also is presently operating a VHF analog conventional voice radio communications network. The system consists of a mobile radio, a portable, and a vehicular repeater installed in each squad. There is a base station at each of our tower sites and a dispatch point in each of our regions. Some troopers have an 800 MHz portable as well to allow them access to County 800 MHz trunked and/or conventional systems. A few other troopers have VHF digital radios in their squads to allow them to talk to a county in northern Wisconsin. The radios that the Wisconsin State Patrol operate on in the VHF conventional system include frequencies that are used by federal, county and municipal agencies. The squad radios also contain mutual aid channels in the different bands available for use by the State Patrol or any other agency."
