From the 1993 WTC bombings it was found the Fire Dept. radios didn't have a strong enough signal to get out all the time, and were "inadequate". Finally in February 2001, the NYFD got new radios, but they still were inadequate and had not been field tested prior to mass introduction. Come Sept. 2001, some of these radios were to blame for lost messages between firemen in the WTC towers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StE_Xa6TiQU
