  3. Rat-shack is horrible... try www.scannermaster.com or www.scannerworld.com, There's always allot of scanners on ebay, just do a search for uniden bearcat.
  4. LONG LIVE X107!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, I like my xm radio better than fm anyway!
  5. What piece of apparatus should the TIC be on? 1'st due engine? ladder? rescue? I think it should be on a first in engine, so it can be used for the primary search. But apparently in my department it has been decided that it should be in the back of the chiefs car and and have nobody trained on how to use it properly, and only gets used occasionally.
  6. I Picked up a garmin GPS Streetpilot 3 off ebay about 2 months ago for $375, I Love it and use it everyday

  15. Gee thanks Art, Oh wait a second... arent you sitting next to me as I type this??? I'm just curious if E119 is old enough to be considered an antique yet?............

  17. From Firehouse.com LODD Updates Florida Firefighter Trainee Collapses, Dies City officials are waiting for answers after a 22-year-old Jacksonville Fire-Rescue recruit died nine days after he collapsed during training. Karl "Kliff" Kramer collapsed May 19 while undergoing physical training at the department's fire academy.
  18. Good Food, Prices arent that bad either, They got confused though when we called and asked if they would deliver to the firehouse.
  19. Anybody get their results from the Dec. 4th Test yet??? If not, Anybody know when the results will be out???
  20. Thank you Plectron! See, even he says you have no right to be there and do this!!! Call me what you want, idiots. I'm sure none of you will ever make chief of your department. I NEVER SAID THAT THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THIS, I WAS JUST STATING A FACT. MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL BOYCOTT THE WCPJA AND JUDGE THE PARADE'S IN-HOUSE! YOU ARE A MORON PJ
  21. The WCPJA must be invited by the hosting depatment to judge the parade. The Host's can choose whoever they want to judge and set up any rules they want for the judging.
  22. 40-Truck will be delivered tommorow morning at 7:30 am
  23. I think it's a good idea, I have had people miss alarms while sitting in the firehouse watching TV, and did'nt have their pagers on/with them. They only came upstairs when they heard the trucks start up and had a puzzeled look on their face. If your in the firehouse, why should you wear your pager?? There should be all sorts of lights and alarms going off when a call comes in.
  24. In the 5 years I have been in my dept, I have been through about 6 or 7 pagers, 2 minieII's, a couple of III's, and a few IV's, the II's were the best, but i still had tone issues with one of them, the III's kept loosing the programming and the clips and knobs kept breaking, and I had a programming issue with a IV and the rest of them were broken due to stupidity on my part(belt clip ripped off, dropped a few too many times, ect..) I'm looking forward to the V comming out mainly due to the fact that it is narrowband capable, so i can use it on the uhf side of our repeater, and it can also be set up for 2 cannels in the same band and receive tone pages on both channel's
  25. DADAY IS A DADDY!!!!!!!!!! CONGRAT'S!
