[TheList] Trunking

Fri Feb 9 09:41:37 AEDT 2018

Has anyone ever used RF > Fiber converters? 

Not sure if its feasible but he could install an antenna stack on the
top of a hill somewhere pointing back to Christchurch (actually north or
south too - high gain to Dunedin?) - and bring back the RF spectrum on
fiber and then back to Coax for his receivers? 

They are expensive, we looked at it at work to bring back 4 antennas
from the middle of a race track so we could get 360 degree coverage and
not have no loss on the cable.

He would have to get land owner permission to run the fiber back to his
house, but not knowing his location or anything it might be doable.

If it was the control channel you wouldn't hear any voice as it sounds like a machine gun and is solely a data channel gives the channel grants. Unfortunately there is no commercial scanner available that can trunktrack MPT1327. You can use a program like Unitrunker with the DVB-T dongle that you purchased but as far as your 996T goes it won't follow the conversations.

> Fire CHCH  frequencies listed on the Wiki are correct. The reason they don't work for you is coverage. Akaroa Fire don't use the Fire CHCH channel for that very reason. They operate on the Ex Police Analog Central Canterbury Channel. The frequency for that will be around 75mhz. Best time to find out would be when they have been turned out. Once you find it you will hear almost zero police chatter on it as its only used for visiting units to the district that don't have a digital radio installed in their vehicle and you will only hear fire appliances from the Central and North Canterbury areas that have been turned out and responding to incidents.
