The specialized radio system at this tower site receives he Cumberland County Fire -1 Lowband frequency of 46.060 MHz Then .... is "Cross-Band / Simulcasted" out on the UHF frequency of 460.350 MHz .
This radio system/site then allows emergency responders to utilize this UHF for their pagers, etc.; especially with the lack of available Lowband pagers anymore. One other "key benefit" is this UHF frequency provides greater coverage; along with the ability to receive calls while inside buildings, etc;; compared to the Lowband system.
