In this episode we chat with Jason Simmons, a subscriber radio tech from Michigan's Public Safety Communications System. He covers the Lansing Radio shop in 11 Michigan counties, stretching from Gratiot down to Barry County, across to Livingston.

Subscriber radio techs maintain and repair the radio network and communications equipment for various first responder State of Michigan agencies, such as the Michigan State Police, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Transportation, and even the National Guard.

Some of the equipment include 800MHz radios, modems, cameras, and radars. You will also learn what some of the tones of the radio mean.
