Not the CDM

There's two different handhelds in the video.
The first has a VHF antenna on it.
The second has a UHF or possibly 800 antenna.

Can anyone ID the second handheld, with the display?
Just may be a $3500 digital handheld.

I took a quick peek at the database, and see one 800 freq for PD/FD interop in that county.
