Our dispatch often has the volume of MINSEF turned way down... Not a lot of traffic on that freq. and many others that are whining for attention.
Just wondering... do the individual squads keep MINSEF turned down or is it just dispatch?
It would seem that if the channel is part of the scan rotation on the squad radio, turning down that channel would result in other radio traffic not being heard.
Dispatch not hearing the chatter on channel would limit the range, but at 50W into a higher gain antenna should allow the call to be heard for about 7-10 miles, right? That's guessing relatively conservatively, if I remember right. And what about the "hard patch" that links it to the new ARMER system?
