Interoperability Channels


The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has designated several frequencies as primary status for interoperable communications within Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF). These frequencies can be used on a non-routine basis for interoperable communications between any local or state entity. Additionally, these channels can be used across interstate borders with neighboring public safety jurisdictions.
