RANT mode on.
Another fine example today of how great the interoperability works :)
Fairly large recovery operation in Muskingum county, several dive teams from various counties, car in frozen deep pond, etc...
Anyway - Muskingun EMA is using MARCS 02 (TG 37664). OSP on scene advised dispatch he will be on MARCS 02 and to contact him on it if needed. Dispatcher advises, he does not know where that is and will use cell phone.
We have all heard instances of this. System is promoted, designed, developed and financed with this in mind and it will do it extremely well. System is promoted as doing all this, enhancing officer safety and on and on.
As with most - training, training and more training. As good as anything is, it falls to the end user for implementation.
As a taxpayer - I'm rather disappointed when this happens.
