Common/Shared (AZ)

From The RadioReference Wiki

Welcome to the Arizona common/shared frequencies.


Arizona Interagency Radio System (AIRS)

AIRS is a suite of full-time, cross-banded (i.e. VHF, UHF, and 800MHz*) mutual-aid channels designated specifically for multi-agency use across the State of Arizona. Agencies wishing to operate on AIRS must sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Public Safety (DPS) which holds the licenses for AIRS frequencies. AIRS is designed to provide interoperable communications capability to first responders of police, fire, and EMS agencies, as well as other personnel of municipal, county, state, tribal, federal agencies and approved non-governmental organizations (NGOs) performing public safety or public service activities.


These radio frequencies are to be used in the event of a multi-agency, multi-discipline, and/or multi-jurisdictional operation requiring the use of the common state radio channel(s), specifically for the use of coordinating activities during identified incidents. AIRS frequencies are not to be used by a single agency for routine public safety operations. AIRS frequencies may, however, be used by a single agency to reconstitute communications in the event of a system failure or other significant communications loss.

All participating agencies to the AIRS, program AIRS frequencies into their radios in order (AIRSAZ followed by AIRS1, AIRS2, AIRS3, AIRS4, and AIRS5). The programming zone may differ depending on the agency or the type of radio. Note that the AIRS applies specifically, and only, to AIRS-suite channels and does NOT include VTAC, UTAC, or 8TAC channels.
