There has been a recent discussion on "Breaking Events" forum, which drifted off-topic.
But some interesting issues and discussion was created, I would like to see it continue here on Mutual Aid groups and Safe-T
Now on the radio I've seen, Mutual Aid groups are limited in number, and the last one I looked at I don't think even had the I-call frequencies in it.
But that one I saw only had Q-MA-1 and Q-MA-2 I don't recall. I'll have to check it out soon. which is is not good because my County and that County radio both border a northern County that has M-MA-1,2,3 assigned as their "channels" My County also borders a County that uses P-MA-1,2,3 and L-MA-1,2,3 Could make for interesting times if not taken care of in planning.
Second, during the "flooding" problems many radios were getting busies.
I think a rethinking of priorities is needed, and re-training on uses of Talkgroups is needed. For instance, DOT was using at least three different talkgroups during the height of the flooding, and some was along the lines of chitchat like they do during snowplow operations.
