They're on ORION, heard them today, mostly the Operations channels. They've always used ORION, they setup the VA Port Authority command unit and all the agencies involved can be heard, including out of area ones, ie Richmond area unitsThe USCG would most likely use whatever of their LMR P25 channels used in Sector Virginia.
Guess the VHF-FM marine band would have some radio traffic for event, but you need to be close.
With all the outside agencies taking part many of them may be using the regular radio systems.
Also don't forget about the Vtacs and Utacs. Along with the 700 and 800 MHz tacs.
Slightly off topic, but have you ever seen the VA Port Authority Command Unit set up? It's an impressive monster! Hampton just took delivery of a very similar mobile command post thats just as impressive. Got to jump inside and explore it at the VFCA Expo a few weeks ago.They're on ORION, heard them today, mostly the Operations channels.
