I know that Station Annapolis has a yellow XTS county radio, lol. Around 6am on the day of the incident, a Baltimore City commander was trying to coordinate a multicharger. I was curious if the CMARC cache was deployed at that time. I'm assuming that it has been deployed by now.

They have their own USCG radios on Maryland First, I know I have seen them first hand as I assisted with programming, when I lived in Maryland and worked for DNR/NRP, I programmed APX 6000's for temporary ops until they got their radios.

No doubt. They were using the XTS to monitor county fire a few months ago. Curious when they will upgrade for the new system.

They were using MD Tac 1 and Tac 2 on the MD 1st system for dive teams yesterday. I am running unitrunker with 2 dongles for the Montgomery Site and the Howard County site plus a RS Pro-197 for the Marine channels and USCG Net frequencies with my yagi pointed that way from Aspen Hill, MD

7101 listed in the database as "Police - Fort McHenry Tunnel/Harbor Tunnel" is actually called "Central Command." Heard it after the FSK Bridge collapse and it has been referred to it multiple times on talkgroups by MDTA personnel.

7125 is also referred to as "CCD Tac 1" Central Command Tac-1.

Yea, it used to be known as Tunnel Command. They might consolidating dispatchers, maybe incorporating other detachments as well. Are you submitting the changes?

Interesting to see this sitting there, I assume this is assisting with multiple communication capabilities ? Has anyone heard of anymore traffic being used on First for the bridge operations ?

I don't know what it is, but with a 1/4 wave ground plane and a few watts I am sure the coverage is excellent for what is needed.
No, you can't put a ham repeater on it !! :)

Looks like a fed. FIRST doesn't have anything like that, not even a SOW. They do have a portable site for events that can be packed in pelican cases. In any event, FIRST has a subsite at Dundalk Marine Terminal, so FIRST comms should be good.

There is also a site at Solley that can see that area.

The truck maybe Coast Guard or Civil Support Team.

Its a military communications truck. They have come to some drills. Normally provides secure internet and other communications. They normally respond with a entire convoy so others may be parked at the command post to support the mission. Sure its there to support the federal resources on the scene.

Most likely Air Force
