Communications Support Forums
As some here may know, I retired from traditional police work at the end of 2010. I am now at a quasi-federal LE agency. Our main system is an encrypted MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus system with 2 repeaters providing 4 simultaneous talk slots. We are also interop participants on a statewide digital trunked 800 mHz system. I have been tasked with training our end users on the MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus. Can anybody suggest some good, appropriate training for end users? Sure, I have Googled this and I have found some videos, but I am looking for suggestions on what fellow members here have seen that is good and current.
At the risk of pointing out the obvious, it seems as if some organizations that I have been involved with are sorely lacking adequate training on their radio systems. I have heard cases of fire chiefs being told to switch to channel X. There will often be a long pause and then we hear, "I don't have that channel (or talkgroup)." Later, it will be determined that they DID, in fact, have the channel (or talkgroup) mentioned, but didn't know where it was or how to find it. I could go on and on, but I want to stay focused on what I originally posted.
