Is AFD having radio problems? Seems like everyone is doing radio testing, with Dispatch not hearing units other units in the field can hear.

There was an all-station announcement this morning at 0600 stating that "for the next hour" there would be radio-testing, and that all calls would be dispatched without the normal warble and warning alerts, the units were to acknowledge the calls on AFD Dispatch, and respond on TAC-2. No info was given about the type of testing, or its purpose.

FWIW units in the field on AFD Dispatch are pro-voice.

Ya, I don't know why they have the radios programed the way they do. Why PV on dispatch, and analog on the rest of the TG's, besides Admin.

No, they have been PV on Dispatch for as long as I can remember. When you hear the units, its on the TAC channels where most of the action is anyways.
