to replace the insufficient comm sets -
A definite must! Nothing beats the GSM network.

Agree to the max.... No Voice Procedures also.. Unless you are having your training at P.Tekong or very very ulu place then you have to pray hard...Originally posted by ditzy:A definite must! Nothing beats the GSM network. -
reservist time, no one uses the damned coms sets anymore...
everything is done with mobile phones! -
but actually its very bad habit. in times of war, the enemy is likely to go for our communication networks first. do you think our GSM networks will be spared?

not too sure about the architecture of the networks, but seems like they are almost indestructable... overlapping areas of coverage means that in order to knock the whole network down, lots of base stations have to be knocked out.. and it's hard to knock out so many...
besides, for the military nuts out there, how to track the supposedly "invisible" B2 bomber? with the slight phase shift when B2 flies past and slightly disrupts the network... by triangulating, the exact location of the B2 can be found...Originally posted by wuming78:but actually its very bad habit. in times of war, the enemy is likely to go for our communication networks first. do you think our GSM networks will be spared? -
certainly they wont be able to remove the entire network. but in terms of reliability, a few stations down would decrease tt for GSM drastically, esp for impt communications during ops.Originally posted by the Bear:not too sure about the architecture of the networks, but seems like they are almost indestructable... overlapping areas of coverage means that in order to knock the whole network down, lots of base stations have to be knocked out.. and it's hard to knock out so many...

wat i am saying is tt handfones r convenient, but soldiers should be proficient when it comes to using signal sets, esp during ops. hence we shouldnt rely on handfones instead during exercises. -
oh, they are.. they are
however, hefting a 20kg thing around instead of a 100gm thing around that does exactly the same thing?
i dunno...
as for GSM lines, not too sure how good they are.. however, CDMA lines are supposed to be bloody good..Originally posted by wuming78:certainly they wont be able to remove the entire network. but in terms of reliability, a few stations down would decrease tt for GSM drastically, esp for impt communications during ops.

The irony of carrying something that weighs nearly a quarter of your body weight, has a shorter operating range than kiddie walkie talkies sold at toys 'r' us, and even shorter standby time than your nokia 8810 is certainly worth reconsidering at times yah?

It is a MUST to bring...I repeat it is a MUST

Hee hee... I usually don't bring my HP to field training, just in case there are some who keep wanting to borrow... very sickening lah
Hey, talking abt signal sets, anyone "REALLY" enjoyed laying comms line in field camps? I really hate unrolling & rolling them
worst of all, return to store all tangled up, storeman checked and find the wires broke somewhere -
its not so bad if u find the wire broken when u go back to camp. its much worse if tt happens in the middle of an ex, and u haf to trace along the entire laid line to find the broken part!Originally posted by luke5v8:Hee hee...

If we are in 265 how to call for NSman special night delivery if no H/P? -
what if there were radio detonators out there.. you phone goes BEEP the field and he poor guy carrying the sack of clackers go BOOM!
i think there was a case such as this occuring before. -
during my full time service, i bring my hp, malboro everywhere.
Tank life firing i also bring.. call my gf during firing time... darm funny ... cos it like am hearing firing sound but a tthe same time on other end can hear chinese news (TV) -
