Newburyport's OEM uses Motorola base radios for direct

Post is required. The directors vehicle (C-1) is
equipped with UHF, VHF and 800Mhz radios to maintain
communication traffic between NEMA and Region 1 to our
local Police, Fire and DPW departments.
We have the ability to program
UHF, VHF and 800Mhz radio's on the fly in the event of a
mutual aid relocation in an effort to communicate with
authorities state wide.
Newburyport's
