The following is the proposed MABAS Wisconsin Frequency priority list. We would suggest starting at the top and working your way down the list putting as many frequencies as possible in your radios. It is not so important what channel the frequency is on as it is important to at least have the frequency in the radio. Each individual radio will dictate how many channels can be programmed. Sixteen channel radios should make every effort to include the eight MABAS Channels plus as many MARC channels as possible. Thirty two and forty eight channel radios should have no problem accomodating the entire list below. We are flexible but this makes the most sense. Fire or EMS apparatus from SE Wisconsin could travel to NW Wisconsin and have the ability to communicate with local fire departments on both mobile and hand held radios if we all at least have the MABAS and MARC frequencies programmed. The list is consistent with the IC recommendations for what frequencies should be included in radios. Any radio equipment purchased with DHS grants must have these frequencies programmed. MABAS Wisconsin strongly urges that all acquisitions of VHF mobile and portable radios be capable of APCO Project 25 digital programming in preparation for use on WISCOM, the Statewide VHF Interoperability Trunking System which is now up and running. Better yet your VHF radios should be flashed for Digital Trunking when you purchase them to avoid the need to upgrade later. MABAS Wisconsin also strongly urges all Fire Departments within each Division to check and MAKE SURE your mobile and portable radios are Narrow Band For those Counties utilizing 800 MHz radios the 800 MHz tactical frequencies are listed below. 8TACRED, 8TACWHITE, and 8TACBLUE are primarily for Fire, and 8TACBLACK, 8TACGOLD, and 8TACGRAY are primarily for Law Enforcement. These frequencies are not subject to rebanding. |
