Hi Myles, It's nationally known from the days before radio. The chief would go to the fire alarm box on the nearest street corner, (to the fire) open it and...
You're welcome Scott, I've been a fire buff for awhile and have a couple of the old Gamewell Fire Alarm boxes. Take care, Marvin ... From: "Scott Royall"...
And thank you from me too. I don't want to be as old as I think I am either. My wife would attest that I'm immature. :) It is interesting about how they still...

I don't typically listen to the Galveston County trunk. Can anyone tell me if they still use DVP on it as well as private calls? It appears they are only...
"7-1" 7 taps, followed by 1 tap. I don't think that you will find a profession that has held on to tradition quite the way the fire service has. Truly a...

Some fire departments still refer to an alarm as a "box". I think Cy Fair and Montgomery County still do this. A 'box' is an intersection of two streets, where...
Heard P25 communications and radio technicians on 155.625 and I think I might have caught it on 155.835, but I was busy at the time I thought I saw it. Very...

Update - testing pretty much stopped at 6:15 PM. One guy was testing in analog and digital from Burton, and the central tower site tech was telling him how...
