Hi Pipster,

No im not kidding, i was informed VIA email about this article.

Hey Kieren how ya doing?

Can confirm all Regional, SHQ, Emergency, and MA channels are recorded.

By request, at the time of an incident. I believe a talk group can be recorded. Not sure...  I would like to record our own talkgroup locally for training purposes and to cover backside.

Under the impression that a pager can be shut down remotely. but cant be programmed remotely... which is a pitty would make life easy.

when you think about it...  the pager is decoding the data message that is sent out over the Data channel... so  yeah... cant see why they wouldnt be able to brin in a new trigger for tone 7..

i could be wrong.

Something about a SOP regarding BA operators and GRN radio's that each person or each team that goes in needs a radio.. im assuming you will need more than one radio for this...

Sorry know nothing about BA... or the full understanding of the SOP..

So also what happens when MFS are in a CFS area.... what fire ground channel do they use to talk to CFS... last time i checked they dont have VHF... someone really didnt plan this out too well...  Yes they can come onto our talkgroup but that isnt standard SOP... they need to be in a fire ground channel

so camo what happens when the crew cant talk to the sector commander on VHF because of the poor quality of the system i have found.

you try advising 30 trucks they shouldn't be using the GRN at a huge incident.

Does any base record GRN traffic on their local talkgroup.

Im looking at a few options of recording our GRN from mobile unit to computer.  Has any one else successfully done this yet? Both sides of the conversation not just input.

So they are short and ugly pip

yeaharound the 3k mark is correct... didnt know they where heavier ...

lol and how many hand holds does your brigade have pip.. we have two for Lincoln...... and 19 lost/missing in action in the system from the group... how poor is that... i was officially told the R6 was the last to receive GRN and they didn't order enough and by the time R6 even got the radio warranty was already out of date and they stopped making them... LOL how bad is that...  i think R6 should be first this time... hell we might even get 5 or 6 per truck like some people in R1 and R2 got...

please dont make me LOL... you asking me to put something on paper and forward up the food chain... OMG LOL sitreps dont even get up the food chain correctly and they are a leagal requirement... its like Chinese whispers...  HA HA>..... no offense... i like going straight to the top and i know it does piss people off and step on peoples toes and i dont mean it and i have the best intentions in the world but i like my message to be clear and actually reach the top and be heard... thats why im jumping up and down about this innovations committee... maybe im going about it the wrong way.. but i have tried the other way and things keep getting squashed at local level because people dont like change...

other day in lincoln when we just had the close call. SES blocked the road.. a person wasnt happy about it... did a small burn out infront of them and took off they reported it and i know for fact that person got the book thrown at them.


Maybe pip can put some light onto the subject.

well cmon guys we are the only ones that can make this happen... we need some way of making change.  Us volunteers run the show not SHQ...  I think people keep on forgetting its us that make this what it is.... not anyone else..

If we all speak loud enough someone will hear us...Only takes one person to start a revolution

Well pumprescue

I have waited 4 days for a reply.

By the sounds of it you come in here shoot your mouth off and actually have nothing intellectual to say.  Next time dont shoot your mouth off at my post if you actually dont have a constructive oppinion... go be lavender lady some where else.


may i stress once again i did not say that i would not go out and help a little old lady put a battery in her detector if she had no other option.

ONLY Open for ideas on what we can do to fix the problem.
