Now this thread is going somewhere
I am curious about the Airwave fit, would that not be expensive to have a digital (for police,fire,ambulance comms) and analogue (for CG,MRT,Shipping and ATC)?
One interesting thing I am aware of the new S92 will not have HF fitted to it and will instead have a Satfone system similar to the BP helicopters. I think this may be a hiccup for coordination purposes as ARCC/MRCC's will still require to communicate with helo's on HF for Ops Norms and long range jobs over the oggin, also you can't coordinate jobs if no one is listening to you.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
