WACO, Texas – CAP will no longer use any of the old wideband channels after Dec. 31 2009.

V1, V2, V3, V4 and any repeaters with a designation beginning in "P" will not be used after Dec. 31.

CC1, CC2, Air1, Air 2, Tac1, Guard1 and repeaters beginning in the designation "R" will be used.

After Dec. 31, some of our old channels may be in use buy other organizations.

References to the old channels must be removed from plans, SPINS, ICS205's and briefing notes.

Wideband interoperability channels, such as TXLAW1, 2 & 3, TXFIRE1, 2, & 3, and so on will still be used as directed. These are not affected by the narrowband conversion until 2012. 

If you have any CAP-owned radio not yet reprogrammed with the new channels, please contact me, and arrangements will be made for programming.

If you have personally-owned compliant equipment, you will need to arrange to have it reprogrammed yourself, your Group Communications Officer can help you with the channel information. 

If you have any questions, please ask your local communications officers first, then go to the Group Communications Officer.
