A person living in any city apartment will be able to easily find a socket of a non-standard shape, a radio outlet, on his own square meters. However, those who are still loyal to wired radio, few remained. Therefore, many are interested in the question: why do we need a radio point in the apartment, for which every month it is necessary to give part of our hard-earned finances, and is it possible to refuse it? A detailed answer to it will be devoted to this material.
The important role of radio points
Not all of those citizens who seek to abandon a radio point are familiar with its important function. But it is she who is the main and sometimes the only source that can timely warn people living in the apartment about the occurrence of absolutely any emergency - natural disaster, man-made disaster, terrorist act, declaration of martial law in the country, etc. Radio points, street sound booths do not convey only vital vital first-hand information, but also a plan of salvation, instructions for further actions.
That is why not a single residential object is commissioned without a mandatory connection to a wired warning and broadcasting network, and the lack of a radio point in a residential building is one of the grossest violations of building technological rules and norms. After all, untimely receipt of information about mortal danger can be a price miss in human lives.
Why, then, is such an important function assigned to the wire broadcasting network, which is so unpopular these days? The answer is several reasons:
- only a radio point for today is guaranteed to be able to work in conditions of a total power outage, as the radio network operates autonomously from power networks;
- it is one of the fastest modern ways of disseminating information in extreme conditions;
- data transfer quality has no analogues in the world.
Therefore, before you turn off the radio, you should keep in mind that if it is absent, you can lose the only source of vital information in emergency situations.
Ministry of Emergency Situations
The Ministry of Emergencies realizes, on the basis of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise RSVO (Russian Broadcasting and Alert Networks) in accordance with Federal Law No. 28 "On Civil Defense", the right of Russian citizens to receive timely data on situations that directly threaten their life and health. Therefore, the agency considers the question of how to refuse a radio point in an apartment to be inappropriate.
FSUE RSVO networks are an integral part of the infrastructure for alerting the population of any city about various emergencies. Therefore, the broadcasting network is used not only by local and federal wired radio channels, but also by the Ministry of Emergencies.
Is it possible to refuse a radio point
Despite all of the above, many citizens do not want to put up with such archaism in their apartment as a radio point. The main reason for rejecting it is the monthly fee - even for an unused outlet the RSVO monthly charges certain amounts.
Today it is possible to abandon your own radio points, along with paying for it the only way - to officially disable it. The result will be the elimination of the point by a radio technician. However, this service is paid - from 60 to 100 rubles, depending on the region of the Russian Federation.
Radio subscription fee
Payment for radio points is relatively small - about 70 rubles a month. Most of all it costs Muscovites - 88 rubles a month. If your Homeowners Association or the management company enters into an individual agreement with FSUE RSVO, then the payment for each owner may drop to 40 rubles.
But with the help of simple arithmetic, we can conclude that these small amounts turn into annual 500-1000 rubles for a service that you absolutely do not resort to. As for reports of emergencies, many believe that you can completely rely on gadgets that can function for a long time without connecting to a power source.
