As of late there's been an increased amount of tactical operations from the Airships in LA - I've been curious about what sort of radio package/hardware they operate in the helicopters to efficiently bounce between channels as smoothly as they seem to do so. Seems like it's more involved than scan lists and priority channels.
From what I gather, the TFOs operate an '8 channel radio system' which seems to be independent of the VHF Air system which I imagine is operated by the Pilot. It appears at one time they used a system from Wulfsberg Global which could integrate multiple transceivers. Wonder if it's some updated variant of that (apparently they now manufacture P25 equipment) with external control provided by a GUI on a screen.
Or maybe there's a considerable amount of coordination occurring on the encrypted ASD channel which informs them as to which other channels need their attention.
Any insight?
