Re: Radio Problems!!! (I've had it!!)
your phone will always suck because Lt's and above have the fancy ones that work so according to them there is no problem. radio's have sucked and will always suck. dont count on that changing during your career. just make sure people know where you are in case you can't transmit which is common in buildings and cetain areas of the county. when u get hurt or killed maybe then someone will take notice. nah, maybe not.

The same problems have existed for 10+ years and if I were the Sheriff I would DEMAND improvement with a deadline or fight the county with everything I had!! The problem is that everyone that could make a difference works monday - friday , 9-5, with weekend and holidays off so their lives are not affected by the shortcomings of the system. I promise you that if they had to actually rely of the radio system to accomplish something that was vitally important to them, it would be fixed!!
Good luck Happy Days, I am getting too old to waste any more time on feel good solutions that result in absolutely no results except for time clicking away on a clock! Bottom line is that although you think the morale is on the rise, the reality is that the morale that mattered most were all those who have already left the comm center due to the problems I have cited. Eventually the new hires too will get tired of the lack of true leadership in communications, hallow concerns and lack of actual accomplishments measured by better radio communications and employee retention rates. But, if that day never comes (which it wont unless the chief removes the current chain of command) you wont be alone... I'll leave the light on for you :wink:[/quote:30hj0itc]
George you hit the nail on the head. Just look at the dispatchers who have been here for years going to a lower paying CSD position. I guess the feel good wore off. BR,SB, BF and a few others need to be looked at by the Sheriff.
Please keep posting the trouth will come out.

Re: Radio Problems!!! (I've had it!!)
I have the solutioin to the RADIO ISSUE............a video yes a CCSO video. Maybe some laughing and singing when the radio's work and some crying when they don't work.
Come on everyone we could be dancing and singing and then boo hooing when you key up and get nothing but static............
We could have a follow up video and titled 'Can you hear me now"........... Of course all of the people who would participate in the video would have to be off duty..........We might be able to take it on the road "The Radio Blues Show". Hell we would have an impact all over the US as the first Law Enforcement Agency with a musical show....I mean not that we didn't make history with that silly xmas video...........but hey were all about B/S now anyway...

Re: Radio Problems!!! (I've had it!!)
As a retired electrical engineer who worked for the federal government and now living in Naples and having a nephew who works for the county this thread about the radio system interests me. Seeing I have some 30 plus years working for the DOD on various communication projects I would like to make a few comments. My purpose is not to bash anyone or the radio system, just bring in another opinion (that is why I am using my real Name). I think many of the concerns about the radios are most likely valid. If the moderator allows I will try to answer any questions one might have from a technical/operational stand point. I have found over the years that the technical part is what confuses many users of radio systems.
In any event here is a link to the possible future of radios for public safety

Re: Radio Problems!!! (I've had it!!)
i am of the notion that the radios will never work right and at this point don't really care anymore. every shify i see the disp. key up and nothing is transmitted. happens on both ends actually. not to mention all the other problems they have. but those in charge can care less because they don't use radios anymore.

I am not choosing sides but here are a few points I know. The radio system was put in place in 1996. Not having local knowledge I will need to believe updates were made to the system since then. This type of radio system usually has a maximum useful life of around 16 years (depending on maintenance). Let me clarify something the towers have an actual useable life of 20 years, with the exception of locations near the ocean. This takes into account salt air corrosion. We have EDACS radio systems aboard vessels such as aircraft carriers for radio communication.
How old are the radios you are using. Some of the ones I have seen are no longer manufactured. One in particular has not been made for nearly a decade.
Here is the Jane’s report as well as the magazine put out by your radio provider. To help show I have a working knowledge of EDACS.
I would also like to say giving specifics about problems would be helpful. But thank you for getting the discusion started.

Re: Radio Problems!!! (I've had it!!)
In the link below check out item VI. CC scan, these are instructions given to FHP troopers operating the P-7150 portable radio.
I posted this as cc scan seems to be one of the major problems posted here.
I found the comment move to another location a little bothersome.
