Chicago Area Radio
Monitoring Association (CARMA) |
|
CARMA is not affiliated with MABAS or any other
"official" public-safety organization. It is a loosely organized
list-serve group that, as hobbyists, share information about scanners,
radio systems, antennas, and related monitoring issues. |
|
To become a member of CARMA, it is simply a matter of
joining a Yahoo Group - that's it. Many members are professional
communications technicians, police, fire, and EMS personnel, and just
plain hobbyists. |
|
The MABAS organization is quick to point out that if
anyone approaches a member of the fire service claiming to be a CARMA
member, demanding data about radio systems, frequencies, radio call
signs, procedures, etc., the fire agency should NOT share the data with
them.
See letter from CARMA. |
|
It should be noted that MABAS neither endorses or
condemns CARMA, but recognizes that many hobbyists listen to our various
radio systems. CARMA members have assisted public-safety agencies in the
past to help identify interference and resolve other problems. |
