Man Finds Lost Emergency Fire Department Radio, Gets on the Air, and Turns it In to Police 

XD

Conor Chapman oh god xD

Lol

it's burned in my head... Keep hearing him repeat his address after being asked to spell it...

It looks like an apparent complex, you'll need to knock on a few doors.

Jeffrey Layman Well, you said it... pathetic..that's exactly what their lives are...just pathetic, so they come on the internet to feel like they're worth something by ripping into people they'll never say anything to face to face.

man auto great assessment. They are typical keyboard warrior, tough guy types. Courage via anonymity

Frogman Smith wtf are you trying to say?

Good God, you're ignorant.

lol, don't you have to work?

A squished grape lol, this is entertaining now.

A squished grape shouldn't you be working? I know I do unlike a lot of the lazy people who want to live off the government.

i am sure he did

I found a box of 9mm out side a British police station and got told they were useless without a gun! the CIA's book of dirty tricks describes how to use them to make a mine!

Mate if you found any ammunition outside of any police station in England, Firearms officers would be on that before you would. I highly doubt that you would be allowed to just pick them up and go on your merry way fella. You’re full of some interesting lies 😂

I'm

That’s not how you are supposed to return it... that radio is for emergency transmission, someone could have been dying at that moment.

TylerDoyles what to make fun of and propose an absurd hypothetical situation about a person trying to do good. Your arrogance is showing

Thomas Steffien and a

"Citizen"

How do you know that guy was a legal citizen?

BRUH its not easy to tell a street name from a voice especially with a language barrier and a strong accent. especially with precise spelling and everything.

West Monterrey doesn't come up on Google Maps but West Martin Lane does come up. Busse and Dempster is right between the two locations also.

Dan Coco, I hang my head in shame. I myself work with dispatchers as well as respond to 'addresses' too. Never in a million years did I ever think of looking it up myself. However, there could have been "some" location this equipment could have been dropped off at or picked up from without having put this poor guy through all this.

Though if we didnt have the subtitles to know west mansard lane, how hard would it be to find?

Let'S Make Change why would a person in Iowa need to know Spanish? Try going to rural Mexico and see if anyone knows English.

Let'S Make Change Let'S Make Change 9-1-1 centers usually have access to on-demand interpreters for dozens of languages via the phone (service is called Language Line). But the service is designed for telephone use...It really isn't conducive to half-duplex modes like radio. Having even basic skills speaking other languages can be a tremendous asset to a dispatcher-indeed, to the 9-1-1 center itself...And by extension, the community at large. And yes, I too felt that the dispatcher's area knowledge sounded a bit weak.

Gamebreaker08 a 9-1-1 dispatch center needs to have the ability to translate any language...otherwise people would in some cases be unable to request help...so yes...someone in the dispatch center needs to speak a different language...because apprently in your mind everyone in every state only speaks english, which is pretty basic common sense that no not everyone speaks english

Recneps thank you for the info, I always knew they had a way of translation...because of course not everyone communicating with 9-1-1 will speak English, but thats a good point it being over the radio rather than a phone call

@@Gamebreaker08 Erm bad example. I think you will find most people in Mexico, even in rural areas, know English to varying extents. I mean the Mexican government recognizes something like 70 languages because of all the dialects, and Americans piss and moan that .gov offers documents in a handful of languages that aren't English?

Anyone could buy a police scanner on ebay

+Little Jimmy Gracias' amigo por la informacion.

Yeah, I was thinking Spanish or Italian could be his native language. I thought that because of how my Grandfather sounds XD.

It’s not lost forever. It’s probably yours. It’s on the balcony at 1719 West Mansard Lane. 😂

Tom Z there probably is

Tom Z there probably is

Jim Bob You've obviois never seen the prices on the lastest motorola P25 radios like the APX series, outdated old dumbass.

The older Motorola crystal controlled commercial radios used by the fire/police like the HT, MT, MX were quite expensive as well. At least $1,200.00 or more per unit. I've read the MX-300 was nearly $2,000.00

*doesnt

The radio wouldn't be anywhere near $6k... Because there's so many new companies building Public Service radios now (It used to be just Motorola & E F Johnson..) portable radios that used to cost $900 are about $250, and multi-channel P25 radios seldom go for more than $1200 - $1500

None of you obviously have a clue what you are talking about. the newest Motorola HTs do cost upwards of $6K, the APX series is still being manufactured and sold to this day and still retails for well over $3K new barebones. NO ONE uses crystal controlled radios for public safety or commercial business in the US. Only hobbyists and even then it's rare. The radios used by police and fire crews are not your toy Chinafeng ham radio crap either. They cost big $$$$ and when they loose one they have to pay for it to be replaced and if its a digital radio they have to send a kill command to it to lock it up and render it useless.. Now in this video published in 2015 they are not using a digital modulation system like P25, they are not even on a trunking system. The MDC1200 ANI gives that away. MDC is not available in trunking mode nor on digital formats, only analog. With that said they could still be using something like an HT1250 or 1550 which will do the required narrowband, and the cost there is literally $500 to replace it if even that.. Since they no longer manufacture them and are still selling off NOS

the best comment on here lol

Louie Niglio because language line that disptaxhers give for language barriers like this is more imbued to phones (why else did they keep asking him to call 9-1-1 on a phone so they can get him an interpreter) not a duplex channel radio.

I couldn't help but laugh! Good man for him trying to communicate using very broken English! If he was a crook he could have sold it underground to a really evil person such as a terrorist.

expelliarmus!

Avada kedavra

He probably doesn’t know how to spell in English

How good is your Spanish?

Dan Teall obviously "spell" means "repeat the thing I couldn't understand"! The dispatcher probably could have done a better job at getting him to clarify the address by saying he couldn't understand the street name, but this guy was pretty thick.

Chris Dishneau multiple of the same house numbers in the same city lol. You know that, right?

Bad Gift thats just bad lazy ass planning

Chris Dishneau Or you know, not living in a tiny town...

Yeah, not really an option... Even most small towns I've been to have multiples of the same numerics. Not sure if you're too young or have just literally never left your house, but either way...

There are multiple of the same number in the town.

It's hard because this center just acquired this town to dispatch and they also cover 16 other departments.

Also where this man lives is not a town they dispatch for but the department that lost the radio was just acquired by the dispatch center.

Bobcat1Deere2Cat3 still even i could get the jist of what he said. He gave the numeric address clearly but the name of the street came out slight iffy but still enough to do a search on. A simple 2 second search would have fixed the the misspelled address and directed them without issue.

All you need now is a fire number and city....

John Doe it’s because you are reading it.

Joshua Eugin it's harder with a duplex radio because theres multiple towers it bounces off of so making an exact pinpoint of a radio using duplex makes it impossible. Simplex would be easier as it's one tower.

Your Worst Nightmare thanx did not know this.

What a bunch of nonsense. Simplex uses NO towers. The number of towers is irrelevant anyway - there's always only one source radio transmission and that's what you triangulate.

Find the tx frecuency

Analog doesn't pinpoint a location like digital P25 can. Thats why they wanted him to dial 911 so they can ping the location from the 911 call

thats hilarious

John Doe honestly, that’s more than likely true, dunno about meth, but definitely something useless that that’ll be a complete waste

You’re right about the Citizen. He’s a good citizen.

Ouch

MDC1200, commonly used to identify a radio and helpful when shutting down a stolen radio

@@fuhwurd Thank you

Allen hawk funny thing is, if the radio was attached to the SCBA (some companies have radio pouches that clip to the SCBA so there is no extra wires or antenna getting caught on everything while searching.) So it could've gotten knocked off or it fell out of the pocket after getting hung up on something.

He can barley speak english and he didnt know who owned it.

I don't think they're used to talking to citizens on the radio.

SpriteV1 or Mexicans for that matter...

the accent is Indian, not Hispanic you tard

RagtagRaging why he say si

Stop All Abortions. I love abortion why

Stop All Abortions. Yeah just reprogram it and use it for your HAM radio or GMRS frequencies lol even if it is password locked that can be hacked.

Nobody's phone number is in this video.
