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.

Exactly what are you squeezing, Steve?

Whatever it is, keep it away from me and quit being so gay.

Now that's cute.

Now dammit, Steve, you're the one who wanted to know why it takes a
911 operator to handle every 911 call.

That's not what you wrote, Brain.

Shall I back up a couple posts, RE-POST what was written, and ONCE AGAIN
have two-weeks worth of your newsgroup excrement in which to rub YOUR
nose...?!?!

See above. Retract your idiotic comment or forever be known as a
liar.

Best back up, PuppetBoy. If I re-post the complete, IN-CONTEXT post,
you're gonna look stupid...AGAIN...

ALL of the 9-1-1 calls get answered where I live.

Whoa! Here too.

Glad to hear it. Ohio always has had a great emergency response
reputation, even before 9-1-1 was implemented.

NOT all of the calls warrant a Code 3 response.

Do all calls warrant being answered?

Did I say otherwise...?!?! If so, please cite the post wherein I did say
otherwise.

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

Hmmmmm...there are several ways.

First of all is to use the autopatch if a licensed Amateur.

Second is to be an authorized user of the county dispatch network
(which I
am)

Third is to...never mind...I could be at this all day...

I'll bet you could. Nuts.

Yes, you are.

And you're digging yourself in deeper with every post every day.

I'd have thought you'd have learned by now.

That's an excellent thing for your local repeater. It isn't a national

The 911 combination IS a national standard for all telephone ESSs

Your repeater's "patch" connects to the telephone infrastructure.

"De facto" or "de jure" noitwithstanding, it IS a technical possibility,

Sorry it punctured yet another "I Don't Have Any Practical Experience In

With It" rant, Lennie

The 911 combination IS a national standard for all telephone ESSs
in the United States and is accounted for in all number

"911" is not.

"9-1-1" is. Please refer to the logo on any emergency vehicle that
promotes the number. This was done for a reason.

Your repeater's "patch" connects to the telephone infrastructure.
As such, amateur radio enables connection to an emergency
center...through the telephone system. The "patch" is entirely

Regardless...Your puppetboy exposed himself and left parts out to be
stepped on that should have never seen the light of day.

YOU exacerbated the silliness by spouting off on a topic that you were,
AGAIN, ill-prepared to address. Regardless of what's "voluntary" or "not
universal", direct 9-1-1 access on Amateur repeaters IS commonplace.

Back under your rock and go argue with Arnie about FARs and DFAR's
again...Oooops! I forgot...he backed you into a corner on THAT subject and
you've now decided to get "back on topic" there.

Funny how getting off-topic is OK by you right up to the moment that you
get backed into that corner...THEN you want to be newsgroup moderator and
redirect the conversation to YOUR needs. Of course when someone tries to
direct YOU back to a thread, they are treated to a verbal bashing by you about
your "rights" to talk about whatever YOU want to talk about, the First
Amendment, etc etc...

Two-faced creep.

On the otherhand I have reposted not once, not twice, but three times

Poor fella don't never seen no old Bell System documents, read the
Bell System Technical Journal, look at the FCC Common Carrier
Bureau documents and regulations, or even see standards of the
"baby bells" such as SBC. He read his QST and now he is the
master of his queen's nay-vee.* :-)

For an ace pilot with the CAP I'm surprised the paralegal gunnery
snurf didn't whoop and holler about "FAR" also being an acronym
for Federal Air Regulations. :-)

Of course, "FAR" or "DFAR" or "COR" or "CAP" has not much to
do with ham radio or whether or not it is a "service" but they are
mad as heck and aren't going to take it anymore! :-)

I wonder if those three (or four) angry-as-heck amateur radio gods
are ever going to get over their perverse personality conflicts with
anyone who disagrees with them? I doubt it. Medical science
can only do so much...

BTW, I've been at two amateur radio repeater sites, laid hands on
the equipment in the presence of other hams who were actually
nice, cordial and everything. Obviously they haven't had Article 15
thrown at them by the paralegal gunnery nurse wearing his pilot
googles and olive USMC tee-shirt with "Temper Fry" on the back.

It's not a pretty sight... :-(

Our repeater has better coverage than cell phones in the area and
covers much area that doesn't have cell phone coverage *at all*. It's a
very advanced system, with several sites that poll each other for the
best signal from you, and send the strongest to the main repeater site.
So if you want to be prepared to call 911 from a wireless system in our
area, you are much better off to use our repeater system.

The only disadvantage is that the phone identifies itself to the
operator as being at the location of the repeater, so you have to
identify your position.

If you get rid of the "f" word and any ribald reference to the female
form, and Howard Stern is just another baritone late night oldies DJ.

Funny, though, that most of the people who are NOW dropping the hammer on
him are the SAME people who laughed at him a 10-15 years ago, but NOW have
children of thier own and don't want THEM exposed to that kind of filth ! ! ! !

Our repeater has better coverage than cell phones in the area and
covers much area that doesn't have cell phone coverage *at all*. It's a
very advanced system, with several sites that poll each other for the
best signal from you, and send the strongest to the main repeater site.
So if you want to be prepared to call 911 from a wireless system in our
area, you are much better off to use our repeater system.

The only disadvantage is that the phone identifies itself to the
operator as being at the location of the repeater, so you have to
identify your position.

I agree.

Our local ARES and Amateur clubs have a great raport with local 9-1-1
services and are regulars at their in-services to discuss what we can/cannot
do, etc. All of the local 9-1-1 operators know that if the caller ID's as "via
Ham Radio" that the call is from a remote location other than the number
calling.

That's a part of that "training" thing some posters here say doesn't
happen.

Yup...

And they will fail to protect *their* children just as their parents
did! 8^)

Oh well, I have mixed thoughts on the "new censorship " going on. I
prefer the airways cleaned up, but I would just as soon have Howard
removed from them because he stinks than for his profanity.

So again, how does the 911 operator with the radio talk to me?

I am sure it's something like "goo goo gaaa gaaa". They are pretty good at
talking to a person on thier level without talking down to them.

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.

What "90%" Brain?

Now dammit, Steve, you're the one who wanted to know why it takes a
911 operator to handle every 911 call.

That's not what you wrote, Brain.

Correct. It's what you wrote.

You've already been asked once to cite the post wherein you claim I said
that.

You haven't doen THAT yet either.


Glad to hear it. Ohio always has had a great emergency response
reputation, even before 9-1-1 was implemented.

Thank you.

Are YOU taking credit for this system, Brain?


Does your WIFE read your antics? Does she know how thoroughly you
humiliate your family name?

First you want to pick on my kids, now you want to pick on my wife.

No wonder you said you've been divorced so many times.

I'm not "picking" on your wife, Blockhead.

I ASKED if she "...read your antics?" and further asked if she was aware
how you "thoroughly humiliate your family name?"

Since YOU already quoted it in this same post, I need not go back for that
one.

Thanks. (...you really do make this a lot easier than you realize!)

The 911 combination IS a national standard for all telephone ESSs
in the United States and is accounted for in all number
combinations used in signalling and dialing in the telephone
infrastructure.

"911" is not.

"9-1-1" is. Please refer to the logo on any emergency vehicle that
promotes the number. This was done for a reason.

Please refer to any telephone key pad. There are no dashes on them.

No, there's not.

Neither is "911"

Acting on recommendations from APCO (Lennie can tell you who THEY are...)
it was encouraged that the national emergency number be depicted as three
discreet numbers, ie: 9-1-1. Please refer to the logo on almost any emergency
vehicle in the United States.

If it would be any easier for you, I can use 9.1.1., but there are no
periods on the phone either.
