Using the radio

Shortly after the creation of the Department of Homeland Security it embarked on a program to enable its forces to communicate via radio, much like the police do.  Several years later, after spending $430,000,000, there is little radio communication.  In a survey conducted by the Inspector General of DHS it was found that only one of those surveyed was able to actually communicate using the channel created.  72% did not know the channel existed, 25% could not find the channel and 3% were using an out-of-date channel.

Does DHS do anything well?
