Make channels readily available


Name: John Felb
Department: Apple Grove Fire Department, NJ

If you have a repeater on your system or a Channel 2 that is utilized for interior or emergency ops, you need to place it where it can be readily available. What we have done is to place our fireground or emergency op frequency at the opposite end of the dial. Channel 1 is one frequency and the other frequency that we use is Channel 16. The radio dial can't go any further than the Channel 1 or Channel 16.
