PORTABLE RADIOS THAT ARE USED IN ACTION - PLEASE HELP!!!!
Im a college student from THE ART INSTITUE OF PITTSBURGH with a design challenege to improve ergonomically the portable radios that you as a firefighter use while in action. Your feedback would be greatly apprciatated for my following design. Thank you
Here are a few questions that you might have a solution to....
What current issues do you have with your current walki talkies?
When gloves are being worn what are the problems controlling your radio?
Where do you usually store/place your radio while in action?
Do your portable radios have mics? If they have mics what functions on these mics would you like to see added/taken away?
What color would you like to see the walkie talkie be?
What kinda materail is your walkie talkie and what is the brand name?

1 Battery life
2 changing channels and adjusting volume (small knobs on top)
3 radio pocket on my bunker coat or clipped to my belt
4 Yes mine has a mic, nothing its fine
5 black I think it looks better and cleaner. Would be nice to have some reflective striping on them. I put a tetrehedon from an old fire helmet on mine

Ther is actually three of the same post from different people, but poseted the same day. The one I was talking about a girl had posted it about two or three months ago, but it was the same question. I didn't think our radios were that popular.
