Committee handling: preplan

Value to PCSAR mandate: medium

Difficulty to implement: hard

The Alberta Government is planning a digital UHF network to include all emergency services including SAR.

SEASAR, LASARA are using HAM radios.

We should develop a radio strategy that will guide future radio purchases, licensing and training.

Can we use multi-type radios that can be used on both Amateur and Commercial channels?

CNP Ham club has 10 base stations and 80 handhelds
