<br />RGV:299:5/31/00 <br /> <br />ANALYSIS OF ANOKA COUNTY FIRE RADIO QUESTIONNAIRE RETURNS <br /> <br />CRITICAL CONCERNS <br /> <br />1. Failure of the radio system for up to three hours is considered unacceptable <br />for safety reasons. <br /> <br />2. Potential jamming of a fire channel, especially the paging channel, is <br />considered a critical issue. <br /> <br />VERY IMPORTANT TO CRITICAL CONCERNS <br /> <br />1. Congestion is a minor problem, however, freedom from contention on a fire <br />scene channel is very important to critical. <br /> <br />2. The ability to communicate with dispatch using a portable radio indoors is <br />rated a very important to critical need. Ramsey and Linwood Township have <br />difficulty with coverage indoors, and Linwood has difficulties in some outdoor <br />areas. <br /> <br />VERY IMPORTANT NEEDS <br /> <br />1. Covering of transmissions by two simultaneous radio users is a very <br />important problem to overcome. <br /> <br />DESIRABLE NEEDS <br /> <br />1. The ability to communicate with others beyond shared channels and the state <br />mutual aid channel is desirable but not a very important need. <br /> <br />MINOR INTERESTS <br /> <br />1. There is some interference, especially on the main fire channel, but that <br />interference is considered a minor problem. <br /> <br />2. Monitoring of fire channels is considered to be a minor problem. <br />
