can you talk to 911 communications
491239
No. 911 is part of the switched telephone network. A cell phone is a specialized radio that communicates with the switched telephone network, so you can reach 911 with it. If you're talking about communicating with the responders to 911 calls, like police and firefighters, the answer is: it depends. Some responders use frequencies the Baofeng can transmit and receive on, but it would be illegal. Many of the responders have gone to something called trunked radio systems, which works something like a private cellular system, and the Baofeng wouldn't do anything useful trying to talk to a trunked system.

If by 911 communications, you mean the police radio frequencies, I wouldn't recommend it, and expect to answer a lot of questions afterward. But, if you are an FCC licensed Amateur under certain circumstances, and as long as the agency is operating on a frequency within the range of the radio, then yes. However, this must only be done in the event of a serious emergency which would involve the imminent loss of life or property.

With the propper frequency set up to the 911 communication that you are close yes, for better signal boost you will need a repeater code to hit a tower to reach communications. So what I suggest contact someone such as LEO, Fire, or Dispatch to find someone that can help set it up as long as your one of those listed. Keep in mind you will need a FCC license to communicate over the radio unless you are one of the listed.

Yes, it has the ability to distinguish between answering machine and real person. This device has saved us twice already and has paid for itself. Looked all over the market and this is the best technology at the moment. Can accept multiple modules as well, such as shower, bathroom, in addition to the pendant. You can program up to 4 contacts with the option of 911 at the end of the list. Or you can go straight to 911. The person can even answer the phone and talk from the pendant. Good luck!

it has to have Internet service that plugs into it and you have to set it up with your 911 address, once it is connected via GPS you have bars that allows your phone to be used with many bars. You have to go online to setup your phone number etc. A little difficult to connect everything but well worth it. AT &T; provides excellent help by calling a number if you have problems.

Yes. Just pick up the receiver and press talk as if you were answering the phone and both of you will be able to talk.

That system is very limited, it didn't support my 911 emergency dial up, so I don't believe so. I have Dish HD so I signed up for their phone & internet service and it works fine.

We set up 911 as the last number to dial if the regency button was pushed which means if none of us answer the alert 911 would be alerted. We have not tried to dial or set up 911 in any other form. I hope this helps.

Yes it can. You would need to dial the access number and your password and receive your messages that way.

You need the landline connected for 911 calls only. For all other calls you can use Skype without a regular landline connection.

It is my understanding that unless the phone number is a blocked number, 911 operators can ascertain the location of the caller regardless of whether the caller is able to speak.
