[FedCom] Interesting job for a scanner buff

[crystal candy]

Everyone,

I saw this ad in Sunday's Hartford Courant under
"dispatcher/TEO". I copied and pasted the following
text from the http://www.fbijobs.com web site, under
current support positions.

It sounds like am interesting job, where else can you
get paid for listening to scanners ?

73,

Dick

Operates the most advanced, state of the art,
Centracom II radio console, which is the nucleus of
the FBI's Digital Voice Privacy FM radio system. The
Centracom console controls up to three regional
communications subsystems, each subsystem having up to
sixteen, ten channel FM base stations. Maintains vocal
liaison with investigative personnel in mobile, base
or portable units by routing all field division radio
traffic to and from subsystems and individual base
stations within the subsystems. Monitor local police
radio frequencies for immediate knowledge of
occurrences of interest to the Bureau, or falling
under Bureau jurisdiction. Transmits, receives,
monitors and relays official messages selecting the
correct subsystem, base station, operating channels
and mode of operation (clear/coded). Chooses the
correct mode of operation depending on who the
transmission is intended (e.g. routing the
transmission to a local police agency who operates in
the clear mode).
