What are these repeaters going to be used for? What do they provide that they don't already get now?

 

[nd5y]

Looking at the license posted above they got several repeater freqency pairs that can be used anywere in the state on a temporary basis.
Temporary repeaters are typically used at an incident command post.

Could be the TCS. I believe it has different freqs licensed for each division, with the 800 mutual aid freqs being common to all areas.

--------------
A couple examples....additional temporary comm assets used for events related to a natural or man made disaster/accident i.e., 911 plane crash into the Pentagon;SAR efforts in the Charlottesville area a few years ago for the ejected downed ANG pilot in the mountainous terrain, etc.

Said another way..whatever situation or circumstance the VSP determines these additional temporary comm assets are needed.
