RGV:299:5/31 /00 <br /> ANALYSIS OF ANOKA COUNTY FIRE RADIO QUESTIONNAIRE RETURNS <br /> CRITICAL CONCERNS <br /> 1. Failure of the radio system for up to three hours is considered unacceptable <br /> for safety reasons. <br /> 2. Potential jamming of a fire channel, especially the paging channel, is <br /> considered a critical issue. <br /> VERY IMPORTANT TO CRITICAL CONCERNS <br /> 1. Congestion is a minor problem, however, freedom from contention on a fire <br /> scene channel is very important to critical. <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 /> VERY IMPORTANT NEEDS <br /> 1. Covering of transmissions by two simultaneous radio users is a very <br /> important problem to overcome. <br /> DESIRABLE NEEDS <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 /> MINOR INTERESTS <br /> 1. There is some interference, especially on the main fire channel, but that <br /> interference is considered a minor problem. <br /> 2. Monitoring of fire channels is considered to be a minor problem. <br />
