No it shouldn't be removed for educational purposes; and solely on the basis
free dissemination of information. 

Yes Mike I know it would be better to lock everyone up before they commit a
crime, but.

No point in putting it out there with big arrows pointing to it either. If
people want to break the law, and transmit on frequencies they are not
supposed to, thats fine, I just don't wanna see radiowiki.org.nz dragged
into the debate. Its so easy to get a chinese radio into the country, and to
transmit. Do we really want to be telling people "Here, go play with these
frequencies"?

Security by obscurity? really? The information is already publicly
available, no point in hiding it..

Hi folks.

Why do any transmit frequencies need to be listed anyway? If people are
supposed to have access to these systems, they'll have the frequencies
already, or know who to contact to get them. Having them on the wiki just
encourages the riffraff to try and see if they can trigger the repeaters,
thus p*ssing off the legitimate users.

Receive frequencies are fine, but really, do we need tx? The wiki was
designed for scanners, not txers.

Hi.

Thanks for the suggestion. PIB 23 is found here:
http://www.rsm.govt.nz/cms/tools-and-services/publications/public-informatio
n-brochures-pibs/pib-23-vhf-and-uhf-mobile-service-bands-in-new-zealand

A couple of thoughts come to mind:

.         PIB 23 uses the convention of 'Base Transmit' and 'Mobile
Transmit' which makes the data presentation a lot clearer. maybe this
convention should be used in the wiki also? 

.         When the wiki can be edited and maintained by 'anybody', do you
think that there should be a policy around how this data should be entered
and an explanation for users of the data?

Mark.

If in doubt, check the RSM's PIB 23....

Hi.

In most frequency lists on the Wiki there are both Receive and Transmit
frequencies listed. However there does not seem to be any explanation of
this and if it applies to the mobile or repeater perspective. Is there a
standard way this information can be interpreted or is it just up to whoever
added the data?
