Just heard CM153 asking for a radio check on 6AR. That's a new one on me...
Anyone know what that vehicle could be?

WAPOL ran out of channels and want to use 6AR?
All my searches were empty.

Re: Police vehicles with DFES radios..?
Complete guess but I wonder if the vehicles associated with Task Force Vulcan have been fitted with DFES radios. Could be a combination of convenience (talking to incident controllers at a fireground) as well as safety (if they're on the fireground at an active fire, it'd be good for them to be using the same radio network as everyone else).

Sometimes we will supply police with a handheld or mobile radio at an incident if they require communications with us on channels other than ESA and ESB.
Most of the time at large enough incidents there is a liaison officer whom messages are passed through.

I was there. Vulcan crew had their own vehicles. I didn't get to peek at the radios. Will see if I can have a chat with some of them and take a look at the radios.
Really lovely British accents with those guys.

Most stations in the country have DFES radios.
