Also, the implementation is fucking horrible. The rule is literally “Press, Think, Speak”, because requesting to speak and opening a connection takes a solid 5-10 seconds. Very good if you want to communicate while in a burning house. Literally everybody hates it.

That sounds horrible. What about this stupid standard takes this fucking long? Is it not improvable by current tech?

They are working on it. The TETRA standard is from the 90s, and by now the last fire departments are switching to it (TETRA)

Maybe 20 years between the federal decision and the last county implementing the new standard.

Are you using a different Tetra than anyone else? Because every radio i have used takes at max 1-1,5s to establish communications?

Oh, what the fuck?

One of the key benefits of radio communications, is that it acts as a megaphone, but only to people monitoring the channel.

Press the PTT key, and talk (following established radio protocol), 5-10 sec delay is crap!

That’s why fire over here is either on analog FM or DMR
