MetroFire - cheap upgrade - ??? Get a NEXTEL phone for each dispatcher - do big incidents on a group call - do mutual aid line boxes on a 1 to 1 basis - or bring back 154.22 as a 'dispatcher to dispatcher' repeaterized channel - use 153.83 as an input maybe
Use 483.2875R and 483.3125R as fireground channels Use the new regional channels as backup / spare / reserve channels For many communitys - 483.2875 and 483.3125 would become their 3rd and 4th FG channels - but of course they would be shared amongst 30 FDs IIRC there are Silver, Orange, North Rptr, Central Rptr, South Rptr, North FG, Central FG, and South FG channels - if you converted them into all shortrange FG channels - you would have a pool of maybe 13 channels - plus 483.2875R and 483.3125R for repeaterized FG ops (long long long range) Lets see if I can remember who has a local 2nd repeater channel at this time - Lynn - Revere - Chelsea - Everett - Belmont - Waltham - Somerville sorta - Cambridge has 2 UHF repeater pairs or more - Quincy - Saugus has simplex FD channel - Stoneham has simplex FG channel - Winchester has a secret channel IIRC - Newton FD might have a 2nd repeater channel too - plus Norfolk County FDs can use the Norfolk FG channels - therefore - we can see that there is a lot of channel capability amongst the various FDs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
