1st Responder Wireless Network Question

[KC9VZV]

Hi!

I am currently an IPN dispatcher, and now I want to move onto something a little more than just IPN. After doing some Googling, I found 1st Responder Wireless News . I want to know what people think of 1RWN (is it worth signing up to be a dispatcher?, is support good?, are the prizes good?). Also, I would like to hear if anyone sees any reason why I should not be a dispatcher for both IPN and 1RWN.
Thanks for your help, and I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say!

Hey I'm considering the same thing.... Did you ever end up dispatching for 1st responder wireless news??

Actually I did not. Shortly after I posted this, I found out that IPN strongly discourages their dispatchers from working for other networks. Aside from that, IPN has made a lot of improvements in the past year or so and they are in the process of making a BUNCH more great improvements. Are you currently a IPN dispatcher?
Have a good night!

I used to be but I got tired of them getting mad at me for everything I did. Have they updated the dispatched interface? What have they updated? Did you happen to hear anything else about 1st responder wireless?

Thanks for your help!

They have not updated their dispatch interface yet, but they are planning to in early 2013. They are also about to release a iPhone app. I have not heard anything about 1st Responder Wireless Network, but I dont think they are as organized as IPN.

Alright, Thanks for your help!

No problem. Let me know if you decide to start up again with IPN. I'd be happy to help you get re-acquainted with it if you need. Have a good one!
