8 am today - daily radio tet - engine 1 mobile - engine 1 portable - engine 1 alpha - engine 1 bravo
presumably 'engine 1 mobile' is the mobile radio on the vehicle presumably 'engine 1 portable' is the officer's portable radio in everyday radio traffic - 'engine 1 mobile' is rarely used - and 'engine 1 portable' is rarely used commonly they say "engine 1 pump" or 'engine 1 driver' when talking to the driver / pump operator commonly they say "engine 1" when talking to the officer bottom line - there is a major disconnect between the radio test terms and the everyday radio comms - and this sometimes shows up during urgent situations when multi people try to answer to the same callsign - its not good -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
