More on Coast Guard UHF Usage & SRCUS
Following up on the reports of Coast Guard operations on 413.0000 MHz, I have received some information regarding acquisition of UHF tactical radios by the Coast Guard:
http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/rescue21/srcus.asp
This web page describes the installation of new radios in CG vessels under 87 feet in length. It specifically mentions new tactical VHF and UHF radios, and requires APCO P-25 operation with AES encryption capabilities. It also specifies that the UHF radios be capable of operations on the DoD 380 MHz trunking systems, known as the Enterprise Land Mobile Radio systems (ELMR).
It appears that this is all part of the Coast Guard's Short Range Communications Upgrade System or SRCUS;
