I caught most of the Haverhill Massachusetts Fire Department radio test today at 8 AM on 154.3625 R (5 bars to me) - DPL 071 - seemed to be no problems - just a little bit of feedback once in a while - all radios except 1 were loud and clear into the repeater system
All front line units have 1 mobile radio and 4 portable radios from the sound of things Probably Rescue 1 was tested first but I missed them - .... Ladder 13, 14 Tanker 1, 11 Ambulance 1, 11 Engine 1, 11, 12, 13, 14 Engine 6,61,62,63,64 Engine 2,21,22,23,24 Combination / Forestry 2,21,22 Engine 3,31,32,33,34 Engine 4,41,42,43,44 Combo 4,41,42 Ladder 4,41,42,43,44 Engine 8,81,82.83.84 - all by 1 guy Engine 9,91,92,93,94 - all by 1 guy 816 AM completed The two digit IDs are the portable radios apparently Eng 8 and 9 are outlying stations - maybe they have some call men still Ladder 4 and Engine 6 are probably spare / reserve units - but obviously they are fully radio equipped Combos and Amb 1 are cross staffed probably Portable 81 sounded very scratchy and screechy - the dispatcher suggested that it be sent for repair - it sure sounded defective to me - you could barely hear the words - they were buried in hiss and screechy noise (not feedback) - some electrons were having a bad day -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
