Each Portland Fire & Rescue fire station has an "orange go-kit:" a 55-watt Icom IC-2100H radio and a roof-mounted antenna. This is the radio that an ARO at a fire station uses to communicate with Portland's EOC. | |||
NET volunteers are permitted to use this equipment if they have a valid FCC amateur radio license. The kit CANNOT leave the fire station, and so cannot be checked out. However, a volunteer can visit a fire station and use the radio there. | |||
Each kit includes a notebook with setup and operations instructions; therefore, set up information is not covered here. A video covering kit setup is also available in this article. | Each kit includes a notebook with setup and operations instructions; therefore, set up information is not covered here.
