What kind of radios does OHP use on lowband?

[n5bew1]

Hey I was wondering what kind of radio is most commonly used by OHP for lowband in their units? Motorola, GE/Macom, Icom, Kenwood....etc.

Kenwood for low band at least the tropper vehicles I've seen

We have 60's era GE's in most of ours here in Troop H.

Some of them have Motorola Maratracs, or used to.

I have a friend that retired from DPS Communication hre in Tulsa in 1996 that started way out there in Clinton at the age of 18. When I told them that the troopers out there are using the same radios as they were when he was in diapers, he couldn't belive it!

I believe they still have a few of the old radios with "tubes" in them out here.

Oh, good! Troop H will still be able to communicate if an electro-magnetic pulse wipes out all the sollid state equipment!

Don't tell me H troop is using GE Mastr-pros with 7984 tube finals in them. Wow someone pass the hat I'd thought they'd at least have GE Mastr II's.

Yea, I think that's the model. Here's a photo of one that's very similar: They also use Mastr II's and Motorola's. No troopers have ht's. unless they purchased them for their own use. Mostly hi band stuff with the local so's.
