Really? Tell us more. I work with Tetra and it's new to me so I'm a doubting thomas.

When I did my Tetra/Airwaves training last year, I was informed that all emergency services Tetra systems have the capability to be remotely switched on, in the event of 'personal safety being compromised' or in non PC speak, when you are in the cr*p and can't hit the panic button.
They will also have shortly an inbuilt GPS locator system, purely for personal safety reasons of course!
This also goes for the vehicle radios as well. As a result of this conversation in the cabs have become very staid of late e.g "Look at that lovely sunset over there" "Indeed, how delightful".

Funilly enough, the last few EMS veichles I drove had the mic disconnected and stowed in the glovebox :)

Aah! That old ploy! Doesn't work though. They have remote mics as well as the handhelds. Its the 'blackbox' data recorders that are fitted that can be a bit of a double edged sword. I have to say that I am in favour of them, in EMS vehicles. It stops malicious complaints of ' I saw that car doing well over a hundred, blah blah', but it does also show up if the driver was doing something daft.

The black boxes are accurate, when they want to be. I was involved in a 'follow' of a nicked car once, and as I went round a mini roundabout,, well, sort of over it, I dinked the NSF wheel on the kerb. That set the box off, and it was later checked and according to the techy bloke who looked at the data, I was pulling 3.7g when I went 'round' the roundabout. Hmm, in a V6 Mondeo? I think not.
However the onboard GPS that we had was not the best bit of kit. I was out on my old patch, when Control called up to check my location, as they had me plotted at approx 5miles off the coast heading towards Holland! :shock:
They must have bought the system from the same company that makes weapons guidance systems for the US air force!
