Subject: Ham-radio is a hobby not a service
From: (William) Date: 3/27/2004 8:52 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: (Steve Robeson K4CAP) wrote in message ... 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? ALL of the 9-1-1 calls get answered where I live. NOT all of the calls warrant a Code 3 response. 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? 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... But in the CONTEXT which I made the comment, one 9-1-1 operator handles an RFS (request-for-service) on the phone with the RP (reporting party) while another monitors the phone call and dispatches the appropriate assets. Somehow I think you knew that, so I'll just cut your trolling line right here. Steve, K4YZ |
