SASES / Re: curious about level of radio traffic
« on: August 17, 2007, 08:12:10 PM »care to share this news about new SES appliance numbering?
It is not new SES numbering each unit has a block of numbers eg Sturt has 201-205,Metro South 331-335 etc.These numbers have been around for years
While SES has used numbers before as SA Firey said, this is a new system that is coming out that will bring it more in line with the CFS/MFS callsign system.
It will be Unit Name followed by a two digit number based on what the appliance does. For example:
2wd cars that are not trucks or RCR are 2x
4wds that are not trucks or RCR are 4x
RCR trucks are 9x
logistics appliances like the flatbeds are 7x
general rescue trucks, which is anything but logistics or RCR are 3x
So with my unit we have Adelaide Hills 40 for our 4WD light rescue (341) and Adelaide Hills 30 for the truck (342).
Thats the basic idea of whats going on, its still at draft stage but they want to go live with it in September last I heard.
