hey guys, so these IR cameras have been around for a while now. and theres a few questions iv got in reguards to how they operate. do they use IR to calculate the vehicles speed ? like the old ones used radar. or do they take an IR image kinda like a FLIR camera or is it a standard digital image wit...

clear light near the red/blue lights above the cab?
id this a green light simliar to ours, indicating a CP?

Asfar as im aware, they cant go Priority 1 as this is only for services that responde to icidents where human life is directly involved, and as they primarily assist other agencies like FESA they are seen as a specialised back up for dual response jobs. im not sure how fast they can go, but ive seen...

I know for sure that Wanneroo and wanneroo support have different ID seeing as there different brigades.
ill ask someone in the know this weekend.

I recently enquired about the HR licencing at the joondalup center.
I was told you can go for your HR licence aslong as you have held you C class licence for atleast 2years, including P plates, LR and MR i believe is 1 year.

so are the tm8260's they are currently using capable of digital ?

Wouldnt it be better they are not on the fire ground ? I mean the fewer people in danger, the better. Sure what ch10 are doing is misleading but it is safer. I was "closer" to the fire and we are still several km's from the actual fireground or the control point. It's terribly misleading....

Police was a bit of a loss, they had a great network around metro perth for analouge comms and alot of info was (untill towards the end) said over the radio. SJA on the otherhand did everything via MDT so you never got any information anyway. Iv also heard rumours that FESA are going to follow and g...

The WAPOL ones are supplied by motorola, as part of the screen and PC. So id imagine theyd be hard to get and expensive to purchase a single one.

the Tait 2020's are the older radio that have been taken out and the Tait TM8260's (dual radio system with 1 head, green = VHF Mid & VHF Hi, Yellow = VHF Hi & UHF) have taken their place. I dont believe these are capable of digital & encrypted communications. so either they are being rep...

B41 - wanneroo fire support B42 - wanneroo bfb B43 - Quinns rocks bfb B44 - Two rocks bfb This is what i was told the other day, not sure if its correct though. two rock is B45 not 44 :) ok, now you mention it i think your right, B44 is quinns i think, and 43 is wanneroo central. ill have to check.

Now you mention it, Iv heard of a few turbo-timers that have this feture, wired to the handbreak the engine can run for a timed or untimed period and if the handbreak is taken off (without the keys in the ignition) the engine turns off.
