The Marlborough Emergency Management Agency has purchased a new dual-band 2-meter/440 MHz transceiver, power supply, coax and portable antenna, according to the Algonquin Amateur Radio Club. The Icom IC-208H is also capable of receiving the 800 MHz local police and fire frequencies. The equipment gives Marlborough EMA 440 MHz capability as well as the ability to operate from portable locations. The Algonquin ARC works closely with Marlborough Emergency Management. —Thanks, AARC QRZ, February 2004
