MissionCritical Communications surveyed its readers involved in firefighter-agency communications in an e-mail survey the week of May 19. The results revealed that less than one-third of respondents use digital technology.
Of the agencies that use digital networks, nearly 63 percent experience problems with audio quality often or sometimes.
