Looking for some rugged radios to work for your dept? We have a batch of yellow APX6000XEs we are working through and will have available! Each will include a radio, antenna, holster, battery & charger. A good number of these aren’t a+ on the cosmetic condition and we’d rate them more on the B scale but still full functionality & tested on alignment/tuning, but we are listing each package at $1350/ea. Need more than one? We can work out a better pricing package for you too! (Yes the better condition ones will be sold first)
These are all featured for P25 phase 1 and 2/TDMA, multikey encryption, OTAP/OTAR & more!

**FIRE ALARM ANNOUNCEMENT**

We plan to continue our partnership with Captain (ret) Benny Clark and the time-honored tradition of the Christmas Eve Santa sighting broadcast again this year via our Main Alarm dispatch channel here in Charlotte, beginning at 8pm on Wednesday.

We welcome ALL to participate. As has been tradition as of late, we will ensure that this broadcast is heard throughout North Carolina, ‘from the Mountains to Manteo’ (via the NCVIPER Statewide-Call channel; by use of a tactical patch). After all, our FieldComm motto IS “Heard from Anywhere!”

For the greater Charlotte area, Charlotte Fire Main Alarm is the local channel (CFD ALARM on the radios)…for those outside the area; but in NC, it’s the NC VIPER Statewide-Calling channel (SW-CALL on the radios). Feel free to share!

NOTE: We ask those outside of the Charlotte area, to please allow the CFD members on duty to participate in the initial sighting tradition prior to the Holiday well wishes that typically follow!

First Due Everywhere! Sending the Swarm!

- Fire Alarm Superintendent Bill Suthard
