metrofire boston - radio channel load - a modest proposal

considering that public safety radios seems to have 16 channels per
bank - lets make up a 16 channel load

lets assume that each radio can switch from repeat to direct and maybe
even reverse

Ch 1 - 453.2125 - ucall - direct link to satellite to white house - simplex ops

Ch 2 - 458.9875 - mayday channel - emergency button activation - maybe
- police coord channel - ems coord channel - (ems ic and pd ic should
monitor this channel)

Ch 3 - main local channel

Ch 4 - 2ndary local channel

Ch 5 - tertiary local channel

Ch 6 - 4th local channel

Ch 7 - MetroFire White

Ch 8 - MetroFire Red

Ch 9 - MEMA Metro Boston

Ch 10 - MetroFire North

Ch 11 - MetroFire North FG Alpha

Ch 12 - MetroFire North FG Bravo

Ch 13 - MetroFire Central

Ch 14 - MetroFire Central FG Alpha

Ch 15 - MetroFire Central FG Bravo

Ch 16 - local Ch 1 - duplicate - maybe - or maybe mayday channel - IC
should always be monitoring the mayday channel / emergency button
channel

Another way to say all of this - all fire radios in the boston area
should have easy access to all of these channels - at a minimum

we dont have the Utac channels - we dont have the boston medflight
channel - we dont have any pd or ems channels - we dont have any
federal channels

but this might be the very best that can be accomplished on UHF with a
16 channel load in 2026
