Grant to replace ageing communications equipment.

Alterno recently granted funds to purchase 4 x Radios and back up batteries.

The current radios are over ten years old  and becoming problematic during searches. Due to the rural nature of most of the search operations in the Kaweka and Ruahine Ranges, specialised radios that can function effectively in difficult conditions are required.  They undertake approximately one search operation a month in  Hawke’s Bay and train every three to four weeks with the radio equipment being a key part of this.
