1st Responder Radio Network: Does it make sense?

I am not sure that I understand the business model that 1RRN is using. I could see paying an annual fee to support the infrastructure investment and to be a participant in a local buff group. However, it seems that 1RRN wants to be something a bit more commercial. Their data pager concept makes sense to me. I am not so sure about the radio concept. I look forward to hearing some more from those more experienced than myself (I am still a newby compared to most who provide very valuable info on this board). Thanks.

posted to another group and i don't know if they are legit
flemington(hunterdon cty) rx 463.400 263 tx 468.400 263
oxford (warren) rx 461.500 218.1 tx 466.500 218.1

firecom radio from monmouth made contact and they are not interested in gmrs uhf repeaters at this point.

again, i don't know if this info is accurate.

 

[kenisned]

I would ask them.

The website is www.1rrn.com

Asking uninformed people, to make an informed statement on a matter seems a bit ironic doesn't it?

They have webpage (www.1RRN.com), as well as a contact e-mail for folks to ask questions. Seems to me that's the forum to get the facts.

Just my 2 cents worth....

I did visit their website, but it is very sparse. Most of the choices return a "coming soon" entry, although they do provide the possibility to listen live (to their internet feed) if you log-in and provide your personal information. I tend to listen to my scanner rather than to internet feeds. By comparison, Metro Fire Radio is very open about their frequency, invites you to listen, and only asks for money if you choose to transmit and be a part of the contributing group. (No, I am not a member of Metro Fire Radio, although I do enjoy their broadcasts/updates from scenes.) I noted a number of BNN titles in posters' signatures, so I thought that there might be some more inside information on 1RNN's approach, since their website information is lacking.

I am a bit busy at work at the moment, but will make an attempt to contact them directly next week and share anything that I might learn with the forum.

i don't know if they are active yet but i posted 2 frequencies above 2 days ago. has anyone attempted to monitor those frequencies yet?? ps big fire station fire in piscataway holmes marshall fire station if no one has bnn or 1st responder pagers. all vehs out with damage/fire thru roof. listed as 4th alarm.

 

[dun34]

Haven't had a chance to listen, but based on those frequencies, it looks like they are using M+W Communications for a repeater in Flemington, and Industrial Communications in Oxford.

 

[FireBuff44]

I looked at the website for this group and it says it currently has coverage in Bergen County and NYC. Anyone here have any info on what frequency or leased repeater the 1RRN is using in northern NJ?

 

[SCANdal]

44,

Try 451.225R (192.8), their Fort Lee, NJ repeater.

I wonder if this is MFR "rebranded"?

IF they are indeed using the GMRS system, then they are in violation of FCC terms. It is against the law to charge for the use on GMRS frequencies. All you can do is ask for "donations" but to charge a fee in order to use the frequencies, is against the law. Even if you own the repeaters, you are not allowed to charge for use. You can deny use from all but those you CHOOSE to use it, but you can't charge.

It's not GMRS. A simple FCC search shows that.

Don't tell me the FCC Police lives here too !! Clean up Spen 1 first then come on the board peaching FCC regulations, such otter nonsense !!

Metro Fire Radio is still alive and well, this 1RRN repeater is totally separate from the MFR network. They are still on 451.85

 

[onsceno]

Yes, MFR (Metro Fire Radio) is more than alive and well. We haven't gone anywhere and don't plan on it, believe me. 451.8500 pl 114.8 is always booming

 

[mondaro]

Metro Fire Radio is the source that most departments listen in for accurate information from the scene. I know people from the NJSP and NJDOH EMS Task force and many other departments who listen in. GREAT JOB METRO FIRE RADIO !!

 

[Vycor]

Im stuck out here on LI. I can't pickup metro fire radio and when I lived in NJ, wasnt into all the buffing.

Im not the FCC police, just read something bout not charging if your using GMRS is all.
