OK everyone,
Question to anyone who dispatches, does ur agency/company/ect want you to or require you to annouce the radio frequency ID or call letters at any point?
Just curious. My current 911 center wants us sign on the radio at begining of our shift with the call sign/letters, annouce the call signs/letters after dispatches and every hour past 6pm.
I dont really see the point. i understand fcc wants you to but why?? if im tryin to dispatch an "oh shit" type call, i really dont wana rattle off 3-4 sets of call signs/letters after my tones. to me its annoying. The other 911 center i worked in never used them at all. Matter of fact never knew what they were. And out of the other countys around me i nvere hear them use them either.
So im asking everyone, does ur agency use them, and why are we supposed to you them?
Thanx BJ
