Westchester County Car Assignments

[EMT111 149]

I think any radio system you look into will have problems somewhere. Orange County has a decent system, but base station radios are call portables in the system, i.e. department x portable 1 would be a base station in department x station 1. Also, you never know what people are going to want numbered, such as slate hill who has a trailer with an apparatus number (m-737) and Town of Warwick PD dispatch, who dispatches Warwick FD, is assigned an apparatus number (632 Base).

EMT111 you could not be more wrong. Orange County has one of, if not the worst, emergency radio systems in the Hudson Valley. As for the portables, not all departments "portable 1" is their base station. Some use it as it is supposed to be, and their line officers use portable numbers. Departments who are not authorized to transmit with base stations in county channels use the portable designation, maybe they think the FCC isn't smart enough to figure it out.
