Q

Type of system used by 800mhz radios

A

Trunked system
A vacant channel is assigned from a range of channels every time you key in.

33
Q

Describe the Pump

A

Waterous, Midship, single stage pump, with 1 impeller, a pressure governor that manages pressure mode and rpm mode, powered by an air actuated spit shaft.
Rated to pump at 1500gpms from a draft
with a max rpm of 2175rpms.

The LDH intake has an external pressure relief valve and an air bleed valve.
The air bleed valve keeps your pump from losing its prime when getting a new water supply.
