FDNY Radio Models???

[eng1aux415]

Hey Guys,

            I was wondering if anyone could answer the following questions....

What model radio do the FDNY firefighters carry? Are they UHF or VHF? Are the radios that the officers the same as the members? What model MDT's do they use? What model mobile appartus radio do they use? Where could you find the FDNY House Speaker System they have for dispatching when their in quarters?

Thank You

FDNY has a mix of things.

HT's for the most part are UHF XTS3500R
Rigs have some form of Spectra of Astro Spectra.
MDT's are Motorola also.
In house stuff is made by Purvis.
