So much for plain language...

For my mind, I don't have a problem with medic/police/swat using whatever codes they need to protect the privacy/security of thier operations.

For SAR and other type of work, good to use plain language.
Those "codes" are so well known to anyone who listens to a scanner, they're useless for privacy.

Exactly, mostly at this point it's tradition and how we're taught.

For example

"Eagerness and thrill seeking in others' misery is psychologically corrosive, and is also rampant in EMS. It's a natural danger of the job. It will be something to keep under control, something to fight against."

Having to memorize (and keep current with) a code list that specific and lengthy is just ridiculous. Perfect time to switch to plain English dispatching.

^^^^^ for all the above posts

More reasons to stay with clear text.....


The only needs  for codes are fore true operations that require the privacy

Simple...... ICS operations dictate clear text and that is the bend of the DHS/ NIMS/ICS world

This has been THE standard for wildland fire for YEARS and the only reasons not to use clear text is when the need for real issues arise
