  B - Base station (permanent radio in a building)

Trunk System -  A system using computer control to share frequencies.
   Common when transmissions are generally short and a channel is idle
   much of the time. See RadioReference.com
   When a user makes a call, the radio transmits its current group ID
   and a request for a radio channel. The computer then sends out a "channel grant"
   specifying which radio channel to use, and telling every other radio in
   that  group to also go to that radio channel and monitor for traffic.
   
   The Somerset Co. Trunk system uses UHF frequencies in the 500-501 MHz range
   See: Somerset County Trunked Radio System
Frequency:
  UHF - Ultra high frequency 300MHz-3GHz (wavelengh = 4-39 in.)
