Hi,

re: CHCH Ambo  It appears some of them are, but Leeston etc. are not.  I'm
not carrying a scanner in the car at the moment but about 2 months back
you'd often hear single sided conversations for inner city calls on the
dispatch channel, but full conversations for outer suburbs / rural calls.

>From that I assume they are in the process or rolling out, or it's half
done.

Compared to 2 years ago when I last regularly carried the scanner there is a
lot less traffic in general and from dispatch/ambo conversations it seems
they are using data terminals / Txt / email or something for initial call
details as well.  ie: it's uncommon to hear job details but they often refer
to them.

Just my 2c worth from very non scientific observation. ;-)

Cheers, Me.

It just used to be Blenheim and Marlborough linked with North Canterbury
originally. Nelson / West Coast had the seperate channel.  But when
Canterbury went digital so did North Canterbury therefore it had to be
de-linked from Marlborough. I think thats about when they linked Nelson /
Marlborough. And linked West Coast with another low traffic channel.  No
other area in NZ are digital other than the districts of Wellington (City,
Hutt, Mana, Wairarapa) Auckland (Auckland City, Waitemata, Counties Manukau)
Canterbury (Christchurch, Timaru, Ashburton, Kaiapoi etc. I'm pretty sure as
of two weeks ago parliament said "a business case was still been presented
before funding would be committed to extend the network outside of these
centres" I'm personally thinking with a zero budget will this funding even
be approved this year? Someone mentioned to me once St John Christchurch was
now digital? As i don't live there i don't know if thats true or not. 

Fire service were supposed to be testing the radios in Wellington but unless
they are linked back to analogue don't appear to be in use yet. 

So at this stage it appears just Christchurch Ambo?? And the police of the
above districts, with the possibility of Wellington Fire shortly.  Hope that
answers your question.
