[TheList] FW: APCO 25 TESTING IN AK

Mon Jun 1 10:38:14 AEST 2009

Not correct.

The 499 MHz ESC Band is for portables the 136 MHz ESB Band is for mobiles.

General Duties Branch (GDB) and Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) etc will be 
using almost identical equipment 100% compatible and operating on the 
same bands.

Up to them (AOS) if they choose to allow GDB to listen only/participate 
or hear nothing.

They definitely will not being operating incompatible equipment. This 
would go against published documentation if they were to.

It is possible and I believe likely that later customs, MOF, fire, 
ambulance, Civil Defence/Emergency Management etc will all have similar 
equipment operating on shared channels.

Regards,

Neill.
