In this exclusive video interview, we take a detailed tour of the brand-new Duval County ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) ham radio trailer—a fully self-contained, climate-controlled mobile emergency communications unit designed to operate in disaster conditions.
This advanced ARES communications trailer is equipped with:
✅ Dual Icom 7300 HF radios for long-distance emergency communications
✅ Multiple VHF/UHF radios for local and regional response
✅ Solar power system with battery storage for off-grid operations
✅ Tri-fuel generator (gasoline, propane, natural gas) for extended deployments
✅ Integrated Meshtastic mesh network capabilities
✅ Climate-controlled operating environment
✅ Multi-agency interoperability support for fire, EMS, law enforcement, and emergency management
This mobile ham radio command center is built for hurricanes, severe weather events, grid-down scenarios, and large-scale emergency response operations. It demonstrates how amateur radio operators support public safety agencies and communities when traditional communications fail.
If you're interested in:
• Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES)
• Emergency communications (EmComm)
• Ham radio field deployments
• Disaster preparedness communications
• Off-grid power systems (solar + battery backup)
• Mobile command trailers
• HF radio operations
• Meshtastic mesh networking
• Public safety interoperability
• Hurricane communications planning
…this is a must-watch.
The Duval County ARES team showcases how modern ham radio integrates renewable energy, advanced RF systems, and multi-band communications into a deployable emergency response asset.
