Re: ARLA/CLUSTER: Isto não vos far lembrar algo? Só 1 dos 479 empregados sabe utilizar os radios .

Boas.

Por cá a mesma coisa, a BT e a GNR a usarem pmr nas operações de balança e
radar é o que não falta, e com os "TRETAS" no cinto parados.

O que falta é a formação de fazerem uso dos "tretas" para criarem listas
privadas em simplex, que a maioria deles (senão todos) dá para configurar,
e creio com potencias até 2 watts.

Milhões gastos no SIRESP e a maioria dos agentes das várias forças não
fazem nem ideia do potencial do equipamento que trazem. Se a rede vai
abaixo, simplesmente desconhecem outras configurações, para funcionar em
emergência.

E os "tretas" dão para configurar de várias formas, desde simplex assistido
com função de repetição no radio na viatura (para os que o têm), até para
serem configurados a fazerem uma subrede de repetição de sinal de
equipamento para equipamento, mantendo na mesma a rede a funcionar.( estilo
APRS)

Já tive um nas mãos de um familiar, deu para ter uma boa ideia. Na internet
também á várias leituras sobre a o potencial do TRETA, que é desperdiçado
por falta de conhecimento de configuração. A maioria dos agentes não teve
formação sobre o rádio a não ser o básico.

E exercícios de emergência igual a 0...
