I think you missed the point of Jaff's post. K-Codes are NOT a universally recognised form of communication. Infact, they're not even recognised nationwide or statewide! It's only SAMFS that use them. Everyone can understand plain english and no cheat sheet is required!
If you want to be as professional as possible, stop running your own race, read your SOP's and adhere to them. It's not hard. They're there for a reason.
if half the cfs appliances/ stations use them and half dont if course things are going to get ballsed up! and old mate that was 1 comms operator out of how many? and if the cfs would get them right it would be much easier for coms in a pressure situation. either all in or none in. and if the SOP'S say not to use them then y arent there brigades being instructed not to?
And numbers if you cant differentiate from a computer with no codes infront of you to a fire call which you have the travel time to work out your code with the codes should be there infront of you if you are first arrival in mfs area which happens how much?
