Committee member Bob Sheskin added, "It has a very large geographical footprint." The new system increases amateur radio communication coverage for all of Calvert County and much of the surrounding area including large portions of the Chesapeake Bay as well as portions of the Patuxent River. Designed to operate independently of the internet and cellular systems, the K3CAL radio system will remain completely operational even if those systems fail. A UHF (Ultra High Frequency) radio system transmitting on a frequency of 444.950 MHz, was installed in the south end of the county at a Lusby tower site. A second system, a VHF (Very High Frequency) radio system transmitting on a frequency of 146.985 MHz, was installed in the north end of the county at a Sunderland tower site. Both sites are on emergency backup power. Additional equipment interconnects the two locations by using a third radio system to provide a radio link.
