The radio system will consist of three radio tower sites, a communications center, mobile and portable radios, microwave equipment, standby generators, simulcast control equipment, and repeater interface units. Although the initial subscriber unit purchase will only include the Police Department, all public safety subscriber units (Fire, Police & Sheriff Departments) are the top priority for purchase in Set 1.
