Lola on Lakewood EDACS

[captaincraig44]

Heard Lola on 04-015 on the Lakewood system this morning. Haven't heard her on here before. Didn't catch the dispatch location. Arvada FD isn't going to utilize Lola when they switch to the Arvada/Westy EDACS, are they? There is a patch TG on Lakewood for the UHF AFD comms already so I was thinking that might be a test page for AFD.

West Metro was also testing on there admin channel this am.

Arvada is currently looking at Locution as an option for station alerting, but they shouldn't have any of the equipment to test it on their own yet.

Lakewoods is really slow, a person could die before it finishes speaking I fell a sleep

Locution's rate of speech can be adjusted, in the early stages of MetCom Lola was also very slow and has since been sped up.

West Metro continues to test just about on every dispatch (06-026), but they have turned up the locution voice speed.

Lots of testing on West Metro this morning and there discussing the "automatic Cad" should be working soon, wonder if that means Lola dispatching another agency?

I'm guessing the automatic CAD also has something to do with their move. At about 4 am WMFR Dispatch moved from their old location on Jewell to their new site.
