Queens is having radio problems with mobile unit transmissions. Does anyone know the Queens backup frequency?

RFI reportedly caused by Tropospheric propagation.
All units were told to go to a backup frequency and not to contact the CO via cellphone unless absolutely necessary. 45 minutes later, the whole radio network citywide sent the same message over all boroughs. This our new radios more than analog, since we switched over to digital, and it caused digital breakup. Some units were heard calling Qns CO on the broadcast frequency, and when acknowledged with the mixer on, you couldn't hear the field units at all.
So much for "Welcome to the Digital Age"

TWO s/c Addtl. trucks for overhaul?? Maybe SOC should seriously think about adding a Bobcat to their TAC support unit inventory. It could have been put to good use here!

They have loaders in all sizes, smallest being this skidsteer (captured from a Skylerfire video):

It's transported in a container by a pod truck. Then there are these others . . .

We were advised of the same issues at DSNY. Press the button on the radio and get that low “boop” instead of the higher pitched “boop”

Site Rule 2) No names or companies of injured members shall be posted until official notification due to the amount of family members on this site.
Just to clarify, I've always been a proponent of "Rule #2" on all types of social media; even admonished some buffs for videoing on scene fire and accident victims. My units were 1st due at this operation; I presumed but should have noted to forward that info. to me in a private message, not publicly if available.
