[TheList] NZFS UHF Wgton. Area

Fri Aug 9 18:39:42 AEST 2013

Hi Oliver

I'm in Invercargill.

You are correct with Christchurch still being on VHF, likewise for Timaru.

Dunedin and Invercargill are the only two areas I know of using 477.96875 for Fire 1, have been for a few years now, far better reception throughout commercial buildings than the old Vhf's.

Thought since Wellington went to UHF they may have followed suit.

>> Does anyone in the Wgton. area know if the Fire Ground simplex freq. 455.1375mHz is still being used. The ‘program’ for the new ‘Simoco’ portables (packsets) had that as Ch.1 – Fireground 1. Ch.2 was 482.13125 Fire 2, Ch.3 489.66875 Fire 3, Ch.4 482.66875 Fire 4/Air Ops. Ch.5    483.04375 CIMS/Liaison, Ch.9 479.33125 Fire Rptr. (Vic. Uni. Bld.) Ch.13  479.21875 Fire Rptr.2 and Ch.23 492.5125 Simplex 1. This freq. list was stuck on the wall alongside the UHF base radio in the ‘Command Unit’ at last years open day for the ‘Life Flight Trust’. The new UHF H/H radios were ‘Simoco’ back then and I don’t think they were ‘digital’.
>> The new NZFS ‘digital roll-out’ in the Wgton. area is almost completed, so it won’t be long before there is one more ‘emergency service’ less to monitor.
