[TheList] KiwiRail 'Channel' Map

Mon Apr 23 14:16:23 AEST 2018

Hi Shane, Richard and Chris,

Shane

I think the DMR channel on Skytown is only an Auckland thing for Trans 
Dev commuter rail service. Remember that Kiwi Rail provides the 
signalling and communications for all users of their tracks.

Trans Dev in Auckland may have arranged with Kiwi rail to have GPS on 
DMR for their network management.

Trans Metro in Wellington don't appear to have a DMR channel, but are 
regularly heard on Kiwi Rail channels.

I checked SMART and the EN119 on Skytower and it is licensed for both 
Narrow FM (10K0F3EJN) and DMR (7K60FXWDT).

Chris.

This site will give you a list of all the VHF Kiwi Rail channels.
