SOCC/MFS Commcen merger?

[safireservice]

its only temp till the software is fixed at mfs comms

You'd think they'd have it all tested and working before they changed over.

Having our Regional meeting with Gary Bau tonight re merger so will post any details, although most has already been discussed.

Worst noticeable change so far is you have to read half the pager message before you know what you are going to. :?

Who cares about the daily incident number at the beginning.

Was better when it was at the end of the pager message like before :evil:

MFS: DAILY INC. NO. 106 - 03/07/07 21:34,RESPOND Tree Down,BOGADUCK RD,ALDGATE, MAP 157 E 4 ,,NEAR MADURTA AVE - LARGE TREE DOWN BLOCKING ENTIRE ROAD - P1 - RAE #### ####,72120*CFSRES:

Could really be:

MFS: #106 RESPOND TREEDOWN P1, BOGADUCK RD,ALDGATE; NEAR MADURTA AVE - LARGE TREE BLOCKING ROAD, PH RAE:########, 72120,*CFSRES - 03/03/07 21:34

saving 40 characters...potentially increasing reliability of reciving the pager message without corrupting...especially in this weather.  Also would making reading the message and understanding it quickly easier.

It was definitely better this way by a country mile im sure everyone would agree

MFS:RESPOND RCR,3/07/07 21:26 SALISBURY HWY,MAWSON LAKES, MAP 82 E 7 ,,FROM POLICE NO FURTHER DETAILS,DAILY INCIDENT NO.104,9119 329 321*CFSRES:

:-D

It would seem that not everyone is happy about the new move if you read this

At least people read the pager now... - Nothing worse (or more annoying) than people bowling up not knowing what you are going too, or putting on the wrong gear, or asking " What is it, I didnt read my pager, just left when tone 7 went off " ...

 :roll: :roll: :roll: isnt that what us CFS volunteers do as soon as i hear tone 7 and see URGMSG or any other kinda response message appear on my pager im out the door  :-)
