<looks nervous at being in another force area>

Same thing happened in Derbyshire. It's quite a big job to roll out, train up and check everything is working OK. Doing it a Division at a time means if they do find any problems only one Division at a time should be affected.

I was going to say "don't worry PK, we are friendly in Surrey" but Raych went and spoilt that.

We are currently having our Airwaves training in A division and they go live on the 18th.

Raych, Training for Specials is rolling out over the next couple of months. I know there is some C Division training over the next month, have a word with your Section Officer.

A & B Divisions are going live before C hence the reason why they already have theirs.

I have already done my training and have an Airwave set. Its very nice!! :grin:

OMG DO told us how expensive they are with all the bit and bobs £700plus..... Very cute only disappointing thing if they dont have interchangeable covers so i cant have my fluffly pinky covers and they dont have downloadable ring tones......

no we were told Surrey has purchased the fantasticola option and we have coverage everywhere in the county. There is a cheaper option which i beleive i what TVP have that only works in some towns and not in the old hamlets that some countys have but we dont have that!

B division goes live 18th of this month. Don't believe TPT are going to be trained until something like September.

As others have said, A division operational 15'th and going live date on 18'th April.. (Whatever operational means!)

The sets are great. I can sit at home in Rickmansworth (M25 - J18) and talk to someone down in Alton. Talk about coverage. And the P2P option is great as well. Obviously all for operational purposes!

And before anyone starts mouthing off that we shouldn't have our radios on at home, we were told to play with them as much as we can before the 18'th ..
