I can't say what band they use,
but according to a PDF on Davenports website,
they are...Global Technical Systems wps-400-4
Heres a link to the company site ....

and heres a link to the PDF, it appears it was a presentation
given shorty after they were installed..

I wonder if they are the same ones they have on the Arsenal.
Where I live, I can hear them testing them on the island sometimes,
and it's kind of strange hearing the Star Spangled Banner, Taps
and someone saying "test..test..test" seemingly coming
from the sky. Kind of big brothery...hahaha
