Revision as of 00:11, 27 March 2011

My name is Michael. Long time reader, first time editor. Glad to be a part of the Radio Reference community.

Joint CAD Incident Tracking System

At the request of several members of the Oregon scanning community, I have created this list of known abbreviations, lettering and numbering that identify units on the Joint CAD system.

This list is constantly changing and being updated with the appropriate information. It is also in alphabetical order.
