Re: [californiadisasters] New Emergency Radio Deployed for Rose Parade

So much for seamless interoperability. Actually, this situation is pretty much going on across the country for projects that I have been working on. One regional agency gets a system from Vendor A and a neighboring agency gets a new radio system from Vendor B. Vendor A and Vendor B radios do not interoperate. The only alternative is still to provide a voice bridge or trade HTs so both agencies can talk to each other. It's back to the human factors.

Pasadena officials say they've prepared for such contingencies. They're giving emergency personnel extra radios so that firefighters from agencies without the new technology can communicate, said Pasadena Fire Department Battalion Chief Jon Trautwein.

"I can give a couple more portables and that officer can monitor multiple frequencies," he said.
