From the time when search and rescue teams formally began using the Tetra telecommunications system in 2007, use of the older VHF telecommunications system has continued. The Organization has in recent years worked towards renewing the VHF repeaters that have run their course with the passage of time. ICE-SAR has emphasized utilizing both systems and obtaining the best possible results from each of them. Part of that approach has been to interconnect VHF and Tetra telecommunications with such portal devices that enable users to communicate between these systems. The equipment has been designed and constructed by Daníel and it has proved to be a good addition to the powerful Tetra system, which has been the main telecommunications system of search and rescue teams in recent years. The equipment has been developing over the past 10 years and new and interesting possibilities have now been introduced that can change the environment of search and rescue teams when it comes to telecommunications. The possibilities involve making portals remotely controllable via text messages in Tetra radio telephones, and thus make it possible to control the selection of VHF channels and transmission power as an example from a distance. Remote control portals could therefore be installed at selected locations across the country and in that way VHF communications of a control system to areas of operation in various parts of the country could be ensured, both through live channels and repeaters. More options will be available through this development, such as a monitoring system that could test all repeaters in the country and track their activity and transmission power on a daily basis. The lecture should appeal to everyone interested in these matters and no technical knowledge is required.
