This presentation is a series of slides that can be used to teach a number of radio-related topics to first responder agencies. The materials in this presentation were gleaned from a number of sources, and at the bottom of this page are some links to some of those sources that were especially helpful. Topics include radio bands, repeaters, trunking, narrowbanding, etc. etc.
Please feel free to use these materials and improve upon them. If you make improvements or have suggestions for improvement, please let me know. Or better yet, make the changes to the presentation and email me a modified copy so I can post it here. I'd like to make this a collaborative project if people are interested. Some of the areas in the presentation (like rebanding) are pretty weak, since I don't know everything about everything, so any contributions that would improve on what's there are welcome.
And here are some links to other very helpful materials (if you have links to others, let me know and I'll add them):
