THERE has been an increase of 59,000 radio
telephone units in Great Britain since 1945. This was revealed at the ITA Forth Division meeting on Monday when Mr. T. Ricketts and Mr. D. Turner, of Pye Telecommunication Ltd., spoke about the development and use of radio communications.
The main users so far have been the police, fire and ambulance services, the fuel and power industry and taxi services, they said; but the long-distance haulier was now coming into his own.
Until recently the main difficulty in meeting the needs of this class of user had been range. "This problem is now being overcome by the develop ment of Pye communal radio stations", said Mr. Ricketts. "These sites could form the basis of a national network."
