[FedCom] Federal Users -- FRS Versus ISR

[Ken]

Thanks Bob.

Well this should be easy to differentiate since there's only one 
manufacturer of the ISR Radio (ICOM)  See:
http://www.icomamerica.com/press/default.asp?id=20001  for a picture of the 
ISR portable unit.

Again you bring to light a very important part of "on scene" activities 
which is to observe & if possible
take picture video of all radio equipment for further analysis.

Ken's post reminds me . . . Last weekend I visited the Lewis and Clark 
Bicentennial encampment at Atchison, KS, went through the mobile displays 
and heard an interesting talk by an Indian woman on the role of Sacagawea in 
the expedition.  The park service rangers with the display were all carrying 
very small u.h.f. radios for use on the display grounds.  These were either 
ISR or FRS radios, but I don't know which.  If anyone would like to check 
and see which band these government comms are on, the display was headed for 
St. Louis, MO on the final leg of their tour.  So any fedcom monitors in the 
St. Louis area  -- your work is cut out for you!
