[ScanIndiana] Police Tac Radios

Sun, 17 Mar 2002 08:42:16 -0500

The only radios I've personally seen were 2M Mobiles that were installed in
the MCSD cars.  I'm sure the IPD guys were using HT's if they didn't have a
take-home car.  The Mobiles were running full power (50-60w depending on the
model).

One of the suppliers of equipment was a radio shop on the East Side.  I used
to have a frequency printout from his shop that he gave a friend of mine a
while back.  Not sure of the legalities of this guy selling modified HAM
equipment to the LE community for the express purpose of out-of-band
transmissions.  I guess he's not responsible after the equipment leaves the
shop.

RE: the comments about using other peoples frequencies.  I also remember
seeing something stating the LE agencies could use any frequency they needed
as long as it was LOW power, didn't interfere with the primary user &
TEMPORARY in nature (IE tactical ops).

I wonder if this is where the term "TAC" radio came about?

Anyone know what type?

And were HT's used as well?
