And WHY does it take 911 operators to handle "every" call, Brain?

I might have been wrong. Perhaps answering 90% of 911 calls is
acceptable practice in some localities. "Good enuf 4 Gubmn't Work."
Like the 911 operator that kept hanging up on "sniper" Lee Malvo.

We only

need one, maybe two on any call, if you allow for one being on the phone
and
one on the radio...

How does a citizen call a 911 operator on a radio?

I press 911 on my HT.

I'll try it with my handheld before I turn in this evening.

I think Mike needs to consult one of his many charts. He seems
to be confusing his HT with his cell phone. :-)
