During May 2003, familiarisation courses were run at Sedgewall for Maintenance Personnel from UK, Gibraltar, Ascension Island, and the Falkland islands.

The RAF have 3 differently configured Zetron Paging systems ranging from the single encoder and transmitter type, though to dual encoder/dual transmitter setup. Tait transmitters are used throughout including the Store and Forward units used.

The aim of this course was to give an overview of paging and to teach the attendees the basics of the Zetron diagnostic software and its relevance to the RAF configuration, plus an introduction to reading system software and logs/traffic reports.

These systems are supported from the UK and the RAF have purchased a Zetron Model 2200 terminal and peripheral equipment, including a 100Watt Tait transmitter, to use as a filter test rig. The staff based in the UK now have this test rig installed and in use.

These courses were of 2 days duration. More detailed courses are available and these can be tailored to suit each individual requirement.
