PUBLIC SERVICE COMMUNICATIONS BUS

Insync Electronics Corporation, maintains a small Research and Development Lab on the bus that allows real time testing of new radio and satellite interfaces. Since the field of communications continues to develop at a fast pace it is imperative that a means and methods to interface the new technologies continues to stay current. Insync is constantly updating and developing new interfaces for new equipment and legacy equipment and finding ways to monitor and record communications during exercises and real time incidents. This will aid in post disaster examination of the communications to find the problem areas and repair them.

Special thanks to:

Southern Electronics Supply - http://www.southernele.com   located in Baton Rouge and New Orleans for their continued support and providing needed equipment after a burglary of the bus. They have helped the cause for numerous events.

Mr. Richard Landry for some of the finest carpentry, design work and endless hours of anything and everything work that helped make the bus a reality.

Thanks also go out to the Baton Rouge Amateur Radio Club, LSU Amateur Radio Society, Assumption Parish Radio Club  and for the many volunteer operators that assist our projects and allow us to assist them for their projects. Living proof that Amateur Radio has very few amateurs of anything. Engineers, physics professors, technicians and students alike, all operate the events in unison with a versatility that no amateur could accomplish.

The "Amateur" in Amateur Radio simply means they are not commercial and thereby not paid for their services).
But they are professional volunteers!
