Radio System Analysis - By Agency  (Click on your agency, passwords generated by Augusta County Fire-Rescue)  If you do not know your password, email Minday Craun.

The FCC has mandated by January 2013 radio systems will have to be converted to narrowband operations.   To achieve the mandate, the FCC will stop approving wide band (25KHz) analog radios. This is something the County will need to plan for and manage in the coming years. The Radio System Analysis lists shows what equipment is narrowband or able to convert to narrowband or be replaced.
