Minnesota Statewide Scene of Action (SOA) channels shall be utilized only by authorized personnel on their assigned service SOA channel for urgent or emergency situations, and/or for task teams or other purposes where the system is not available. SOA channels are intended to be used by personnel who have lost contact with the radio system controller as a result of location (basement, subbasement, buildings or areas with poor or no coverage) or due to unavailability of the system.
