Created as a result of impact of Katrina on the hospitals, 2005
Developed a standardized station design
Based on an All Hazards approach
Funding from ASPR grants via Regional Hospital Committee
Conceived 2006, First install Centerpoint, 2008
Currently have 44 facilities as members including regional healthcare EOCs and other facilities not funded by the MARC region project

Wow an old video but professional and accurate in both description and radio knowledge. These are awesome radios. 73
Helpful de vu2ffm
Great radio!
Outstanding video Sir, I learned a lot Thank you
Just bought this radio off a friend. It’s a nice radio and this video is already useful, thank you for posting!
Super GOOD TUTORIAL!! Thanks!! Mike K4MR
I have the 8800 set...very good set often used for Raynet events and constantly used to monitor air band and marine bands. It does crossband repeater, used for raynet events and also for 'echolink'...so around a very useful radio to have and of course highly portable weighing in at less than a pound of sugar...
How to adjust power
good Radio but very bad to have no lights behind the buttons ...
tnx
can i have translate the video to Arabia Please i don’t have any idea
Is the Yahoo Group still active, or has it migrated? I would like to check it out. Thanks
To turn off xband repeat, all you have to do is hit the menu button, thats it. You will see your "MAIN" icon return to the side you left it on so you know your no longer cross banding...
Could you post the radio settings for the Ft-8900 that are needed for digital modes? Specifically the settings in the “set” menu.
Good tutorial.
good video
Excellent video... Thank you...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💎
I am looking at purchasing one of these and your videos have been brilliant. Thank you.
Great set of videos. A nice guide for others setting up a radio operations center.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you KC Heart!
These are wonderful tutorials! I purchased the FT- 8900r and was pleasantly surprised when I unboxed it and found that the radio is only about 1/3 of the size that it appears on your videos! Since it's going next to my FT-857d in my truck, space is a consideration... Thank you for your efforts in guiding us new owners through the Yeasu!
Great video! Thanks for posting.
When using Xrpt.........you have to ID the remote link.............This is the information on Xrpt from the ARRL: www.arrl.org/auxiliary-station-faq How can I legally make my VHF/UHF station into a crossband repeater?- Modern dual-band or tri-band VHF/UHF rigs often have the capability to do crossband linking. When operating in this mode, the users may call them "crossband repeaters." Actually they are often remote bases, such as when they are used to allow an operator with a hand-held radio to access a repeater from a location where he or she would normally not be able to do so. For example, a hiker in a remote location might leave his car where his dual-band mobile rig can access a distant 2-meter repeater. Leaving the mobile rig on, he then takes his UHF hand held with him, and can access the 2-meter repeater via his mobile rig. A crossband repeater (or "portable remote base") is okay as long as several conditions are met: 1) The user communicates with his crossband rig via the UHF side. Since this serves as his control and voice uplink, it is a form of auxiliary operation and must be conducted above 144-MHz. Since the operator is the control operator, that person must actually be able to control the station! That person must be able to turn it off remotely if a problem develops. If the operator can't control it, it's not legal [97.7, 97.201, 97.213]. 2) If the control link fails, the remote station must shut down within three minutes which means a 3-minute timer is required [97.213]. 3) The unattended station must be identified on all frequencies it transmits on. Since this is a form of remote base, the user's ID over the UHF uplink to the dualband radio also serves to ID the VHF output of the mobile rig. In the other direction, however, there is no way for the control operator to ID the UHF downlink from the mobile remote base, so some form of automatic ID must be employed [97.119]. Unfortunately, few manufacturers include the capabilities listed above in their rigs. Hence, to be fully legal, some form of add-on controller may be necessary. Another use for crossband operation is to link together two existing repeaters on different bands. This is usually done on a temporary basis during an emergency, a drill or a special event. Again, the requirements for proper station identification and control on both sides of the dualband radio's transmissions still apply. If both the VHF and UHF transmitters are not properly identified and controlled, the operation is not legal. In the examples cited above, the control requirement can be satisfied by having a control operator at the station, thus making it a locally controlled station. Although this may not always be convenient, it is a way to satisfy all of the station control required. Darryl KI6MSP
Could you please tell me how easy the four knobs are to turn? The reason I ask is because I am disabled and don't have any finger movement. Therefore, I can't grip a knob to turn it, I have to use the side of my finger and rely on those move easy movement of a knob in order for it to turn for me. Thanks very much
Penn, this is not my video but I just watched it and saw your unanswered question. The lower 2 knobs are relatively easy to turn on my Yaesu FT-8800, but the upper 2 have a detente and click to each rotating position. I tried adjusting those as you describe and found it very difficult to control (although I was able to do it) with pressure from a single finger. But I would think the 2 upper knobs might be able to be fitted with an extension of sorts to give you better leverage and control. But if you're considering buying one, I'd see if someone local to you or a store has one you could look at and try before hand to make sure. Good luck! Don
Thanks for showing me this video, it was extremely helpful. I think I will probably pass on getting this radio now. Best 73 G0VQY
Is there an option that mutes one side
Turn the volume down on that one side
Do you always have to use the handset to input the frequency you want? Let's say I am on 145 500 and want to go to 145525, can this be done with one of the knobs? I'd probably input a lot of the frequency values into the memory so hopefully that would eliminate the need to turn knobs. I disabled don't have any finger movement so I will have to have a hands-free microphone wired for the radio.
You can tune frequencies in VFO mode, but then you have to change your offset & PL configurations if you are changing between repeater frequencies. Memories can be stored by computer programming, or via the radio face and mic.
Very informative video
