Can You Hear Me Now?

Mass Emergency Management Agency communications repeater at APD HQ

When you're going to have dozens of different local and state police agencies descending on our little college town for tomorrow's Blarney Blowover, they need to be able to communicate with each other on their existing equipment.

Enter this high-tech MEMA communications gizmo, which will allow everybody to keep in close communications.

This repeater will patch a VHF tactical channel, a UHF tactical channel, and an 800MhZ tactical channel into one easily shared channel.

This enables everyone to hear transmissions on that main frequency but still have access to their own normal channels.

Not that there's going to be a heck of a lot to talk about.

Can you believe that actually scheduled a Umass men's basketball for tomorrow at the Mullins Center at 8pm? Then they send out a notice that only cars with UMass stickers can park on campus this weekend! What about the 4k-5K people going to the game tomorrow night?

Glad to see that this multi-million $ equipment is tightly guarded and secured. Surprised a reporter could even get close. Is that a drone shot, Larry?

Actually, it would be the absolute best time for a bonk heist -- IN ONE OF THE OTHER TOWNS whose cops are all in Amherst...
