Told its been around for 2 years now. 1st I have ever heard of it

No designation behind it just an "extra truck for communications"

At times due to the metal in subway and other transit stations, Portable "Handi' Talkie communications are often difficult or impossible without "Handi Talkie" equipped members placed a different levels in the station to relay communications from the site of the fire or incident to the I.C. on the street level. Many NYC Subway stations are complex, and many have "Sound Powered" telephone systems to allow communications to the street level. Both systems require more firefighters just to aid communications.
