Palm Beach County Fire Radios

[Adamwalsh627]

In each apparatus, engine and rescue, each truck is equipped with an 800 Mhz Motorola APX mobile with the E5 control head which of course is used for the fire tac channels.

But I seem to notice that each apparatus also has an ICOM F5021/6021.

Does anybody know what the ICOM is used for?

I have seen Airport Crash trucks use them for Aircraft Comms.

IC-A210 are air band radios.
If VHF then used as LZ comms with helos on vhf med channel, as LZ command.

Good point forgot to include that one. Thanks
