IOWA Channel

[Firefighter_50313]

What is this used for? I dont hear much on there.

I see description is "used for anyone who needs contact with public safety"


Who would fall under that?

Here in Tama-Toledo there was a towing company that used the Iowa channel to talk to L.E.. But yes your right, its not used alot.

I heard the State Patrol use it when one of them was having problems with his Car to Car Digital channel.

It is a car-to-car ONLY frequency for ANY public safety group to contact eachother on. Here in Tama County we often use it to contact troopers/DNR cars. It is also available to Fire/EMS agencies as well but seems to be used mostly by law enforcement.

I have only heard ISP to/from DOT trucks traffic on it.

The Department of Corrections have it in their radios.

For some reason I think I read a document on-line from the state saying that basically anyone,who needed to get in contact with law enforcement, could have it. I thought it said something about wrecker services in particular though. I'm sure you would need permission from the state however.
