Memphis Homeland Security

[ronmicha]

I've been reading various places are putting Homeland Security frequencies in service. Anyone know of anything being used in the Memphis area. I've got all the EMA channnels but was just curious if Homeland Security had any activity locally.

Homeland Security Memphis & Motorola

I guess I'm replying to my own message but wanted to ask that you help me watch for any Homeland Security radio license information. Saw this on the Shelby County Commissioners web page approving money for Motorola radios. Don't know if you've ever been to the EMA Web page but those poor guys sure needed this truck. The one they're driving is pretty ragged. I'd hate to have to depend on it in an emergency.
Thanks.
Ron
