Hi,
We have just spent the last 5 days fighting fires all around our property it did come in also, was hell on wheels, we may well never see it happen again but what came out of it was our lack of communications, as the phones were no good and the one radio we had in the car was just not cutting it with a handheld unless you were parked next to each other, emergencies services were having intermittent problems too and the defes comms centre van had to move up onto a hill to get any traction, we do have a giant police com tower on the property but that didn't help anyone much did it! So my question is we would like to monitor emergency services, have a radio basestation at house and a fixed radio in a vehicle and good quality handhelds in other vehicles any suggestions pls
