Park rangers Government radio communications

[Jamie Loveridge]

So recently seen that NHS have been given a helping hand by park rangers with mountain rescues as such but the only downside to this is the lack of communication between both parties as there's no way of communicating via radio while attempting these types of scenarios and this then becomes difficult to communicate with each other and currently there's no way of using a official radio station to do so with each other at the moment.

It would be nice to see another radio channel that could be used by NHS, Fire, Police and Park rangers for example freq 23 could be used a mutual ground for all services to communicate with each other rather than having to shout out the car or being unable to use the phone to communicate too.

What could this bring:
This could bring more in-depth RP between all services while out in the wilderness and will be able to communicate more between each other and being being able to communicate more fluently when doing rescues on mount chilliad or other parts of mountains where assistance is needed and make more enjoyable rp actually trying to save someone's life or even getting a hand from rangers to keep the wildlife away from harm harming others.

Pros:
More communication/RP between NHS/Fire, police and Park rangers
Makes mountain rescues more enjoyable due to being able to communicate with other services
NHS being able to call park rangers for assistance in there area of expertise rather than rely on police or G6.
Makes life easier to call for help on radio rather than you not being able to call for help when in middle of nowhere with no signal on the phone.

Cons:
Requires Dev work to enable this to happen

Please leave your thoughts or suggestions to what you think of the above

+1 as an ex Park Ranger this was a big thing we wanted, it was very difficult to communicate with Police & NHS during rescues due to lack of radio comms & no signal for phones meaning we were not able to go further with the rescuing and all had to bunch together in hopes to find people, i believe this could be a great addition and would benefit Police, NHS and Park Rangers

Just don't get stuck on a mountain 4Head

Nah but seriously good idea feel like this should have been a thing a little while ago +1

+1 I've had so many situations in which it would have been helpful to communicate with rangers over radio. I think it also encourages us (NHS) even more to get the help from rangers and rp with them more if we can communicate easily

+1 As a former Deputy Head Ranger, I cannot tell you how much this would benefit the Rangers. Whenever we did search & rescue, we always had to have someone on standby at the station or drive 1KM+ to get cell service just to inform the NHS, let alone then collaborate on a rescue and mention assets etc.

It would be amazing for us to intermingle with some training to really bolster the RP of Rangers.

(ps, we've had this on our dev sheet for a little while, so hopefully it's already been thought about before)

+1 maybe even just give Police, NHS/Fire and G6 access to the park rangers Freq so we can move to theirs and ask for their assistance
