[KYHAM] tapping your brain

Thu, 01 Aug 2002 18:03:13 -0400

My county has 5 fire departments and they are having problems using their HT's while on a call trying to talk to dispatch.&nbsp; I have suggested that they go with mobile repeaters in the fire engines to boost the reliability of their HT's while contacting dispatch.&nbsp; Problem is that they do not want 2 radio system like the Kentucky State Police have in VHF HT's talking to the cruisers then the cruisers sending the information to dispatch.&nbsp; They are wanting to be able to use their UHF HT's and go through the trucks and the trucks relay their traffic to dispatch.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Can UHF HT's be used with UHF mobile repeaters in the trucks (and command vehicles) instead of them having the VHF problem?&nbsp; I also have discussed the option of them getting more repeaters situated in the 4 corners of the county and have a voter installed at dispatch to select the strongest signal to talk back to dispatch.

This should be used by the Chiefs, Ast.  Chiefs and the Incident commanders of a scene and not for just any fire fighter that might have their own HT. 
They want the best but cheapest option.

Thanks
