[TheList] Pager

What exactly would a Uniden UBCD396XT Digital Scanner be able to receive in NZ compared to an analogue scanner with the same frequency range? Pretty much nothing? Or a worthwhile investment?

    The beauty of being a wiki, rather than a page like the old
    NZScanners is it's easy for users to add/edit/delete old
    frequencies.  I'm keeping the Waikato area up to date as I come
    across things.  I'd assume that there's not so many changes, or
    people aren't scanning around the bands as often, down there.

    One thing I've noticed, is with the narrowband changeover happening
    for people under 470MHz on the 1st of November (and above 470 on
    December 2019)  a lot of people are going digital, and quite a few
    are encrypting too.  A lot of people are listening to the emergency
    services, Police are already digital in Auckland,
    Wellington/Masterton and CHCH.  St John Ambos are moving to digital
    shortly, a good majority of the St Johns Ambos on the road are
    already running TM9000 series which are digital capable.  I can't
    recall if they're 9355s (DMR - most likely, but memory is hazy) or
    9400 series (P25)   Once the repeaters are changed over, it's just a
    simple reprogram of each RT.  Not sure what Fire are up to, but
    Auckland has gone to UHF.

        Hello all

        Please excuse my ignorance but is radiowiki still being
          updated, I notice that Canterbury hasn’t had any new data
          since this time last year.

        Thanks

        A discriminator tap works well if you can
            solder. Takes the audio before the squelch etc.

            That's partly good, means everythings working right.  Now is
            the hard part (hope you have a dedicated radio for this, you
            won't want to do this every time)  now you need to adjust
            the scanner volume and the audio input volume on the
            computer,  until you start getting hits.  I run  3.12 and it
            shows in the top right hand corner a percentage of hits that
            are being successfully decoded.  Naturally you want this 95%
            or more.  

            It can be frustrating!   MY Uniden 72XLT is dedicated, and
            set to about quarter volume and my input (I use an external
            USB soundcard for the input so I can use my onboard sound
            for normal usage/skype etc) set to 90% with AGC turned off

          it's a nationwide frequency :)  More than
            just fire use Paging, so you'll get all sorts of stuff.  

            I assume, given your comments, you mainly want to watch for
            fire turnouts, using PDW use filters with what you would
            like or the address "00099????"  and you should be good to
            go, once you get the volume levels of scanner/input card
            working right :)
