That picture was taken by Ash who commented above but there's other members on the forum who were there on the day and saw these handsets aswell so they must use them and there really secure radio's so could be if they want there privacy when on fireground but i'm not sure obviously

What radios are they? A station near me (Marsden) keep a set of Motos for a tunnel nearby, if they is an incident at the tunnel they have to use these motos they have, asume its down to them not having signal on the regular firegrounds. The Motos stay at the station when not in use rather than on the appliance.
Ps well done with the photo Moj

Edit.
Just been informed Manchester FRS have the same Moto set as the tunnel runs to Manchester from Huddersfield so if it was MFRS where you had seen these they could be the same ones.

Thanks for that and i think there the dtr2450 handset's and i'm glad we got a picture on the day now and to be honest i suppose it make's sense or they could use them instead of the fireground for more private chatter if it was a terror incident maybe ?

Yep they are for Standedge Tunnel ops, they must have a system in the Tunnel for them. Apparently Network rail and British Waterways use them in there as mobile phones and radios do not work deep into the
Tunnels. Both West Yorks and GM fire have them for either
side.

Encryption is a programmable option on most DMR radios..
