Slightly in the same topic yet off topic.

Right now,  Stirling Rescue is sitting on 124,  and i can hear Aldgate 12 request them...on 136...to no avail.

The difference was...Aldgate 12 was told to change to 136...Stirling Rescue...got a Roger Out.

Any thoughts?

Perhaps Stirling and Aldgate don't have radio operators and as the procedure states, if no joy on your local TG go back to 124 or whatever your regional TG is. Stirling probably should have announced they were going back to 124 to keep Aldgate in the loop.

Stirling may have been working on the assumption, remain on talkgroup unless told to change?

The SOP is clear on this.

Change to the Talk Group listed on your pager (which in itself created confusion at the crash at Carey Gully / Cudlee Creek)......

You do not need to be told to change, you are just meant to go there.

If there is no station on air then tough luck.  If you need something, you change back to 124, and when you have passed your message, you go back to the channel listed on your pager....

The SOP also states that stations are not meant to come up on 124 to advise they are on air...they go straight to the channel listed on the pager, and come up there......

hand on a minute i was on Stirling pumper Aldgate was not even coming to this job and also we had a portable on 124 and the truck radio on 126 at that was the channel for the incident when we relised where the job was we put a stop for carry gully and for rescue and returned to our station

Punctuation? Grammar? Spelling? Comprehension?

Tough, I know.

The Carey Gully rd. job and the current Aldgate/Stirling 124/136 job are two DIFFERENT jobs that are being discussed.

Definately agree with that...It just appears to be a information flow of new procedure, not occuring or "down pat".

But i also disagree with the SOP in other respects. Thats another rant for another time.

So, do you have a portable on 136??? because the incident controller has to able to get out of the truck.

There was nothing wrong with the old method, so long as booking mobile and sitreps were on 124 until a station came up on air and ALL fireground comms were kept on UHF/VHF.

The new system is just bollocks to be honest. Not so bad for appliances with multiple GRN portables, but thats not too many.

I'd love to see the introduction of a speaker and mic on the pump panel for monitoring GRN, but hey, I can dream...

Thats possible numbers ;)...Just hook up a portable scanner to the trucks cigarette lighter.  You could then...broadcast the headphone port's audio via bluetooth, to a bluetooth ear piece.  Or even splicing a Bluetooth audio feed directly off the Mobile GRN radio in the cab...?

If everyone went by the SOP then the talkgroup is on the pager, no excuse for being anywhere else, unless directed otherwise :wink:

Or do the old fashion way, which is to run a speaker cable with a switch, to the speaker horn location near the pump.

Hasn't the Telstra contract with CFS now expired....?

As part of that, we all used to have to undertake a GRN course before touching the radios.   Now there is no requirement to do that....

Within SES the updated TRK for 'Operate Communications Equipment' is being rolled out. This replaces the interim course that has been delivered during the past few years.

Your right uniden, MFS have speakers on pump like numbers wants, but they also carry multiple GRN radios but not others??
