Well interop issues are going to raise there ugly head once again, just like after columbine.
Who else was listening this afternoon?
Park (VHF) first on scene, Jeffco Deputies and Swat soon followed (DTRS) no direct comms between the two, then Clear Creek arrived (VHF) with a few DTRS portables, CSP (DTRS) some attempts were made to use Mac channels and iCall and Gold interagency were tried but all were unsuccessful and mostly unreadable.
Then Denver command van arrives onscene, the true DTR experts right? and things continued to go down hill.
Believe the entry team was able to use itac5 pretty successfully.
But in the end believe Jeffco stayed on there primary radio system and Park stayed on theres.
Then the issue of nextels, no coverage down there but good DTR from the Bailey tower so talk about command officers without there ptt button close by. And lots began to be aired on DTR in the open that probably should not have.
