[TheList] Analogue reception is good in SI and still not a write off.

Sun Jan 7 11:06:05 AEDT 2018

Hi Tim

No PRS repeater and very little PRS use in Chch that I know of,  apart from as group on CH1 at night which I picked up from the east side.

Very patchy reception around road to Akaroa particularly Motukarara to Little River. The Police still have issues in this area with P25.

Comms for Fire are received off the Ashburton channel as I understand for that side of Banks Peninsula.

I see rwiki Canterbury states that the ambo’s are on digital in chch, I receive them on 500 mhz analog, is the digital running as well?

Cheers
Glenn

Hi folks

Am moving from Dunedin to Akaroa and am wondering what you can pick up on a scanner in Christchurch and akaroa. If anyone can give me some freq to listen to would be awesome. Also is there a repeater in chch for prs users nd if so how does one use nd on what freq.

Thanks
. Tim

Just been on holiday to Nelson and back via the reopened SH1.

I live in Timaru  and run a variety of scanners, 2 Uniden UBCD396XT and two Yupiteru scanners.

Received police reception at the north lip of the Hundalees to Blenhiem,from West coast, Nelson, Blenhiem on the Timaru 75.450 FM channel

On the way back the Unidens received Otago rural 75.225 from the Hundalees south(did not expect that)

Calls from west coast police travelling to CHCH with prisoners, i also hear Oamaru police near Waimate  at regular intervals.

So do not delete any common analogue data as yet when Analogue cars come to CHCH they still only have analogue gear fitted.

You may hear the odd call, i recognised the dispatchers voices in Nelson from my Timaru analogue days,they must be still employed and on  that days shift.

I heard Wellington Fire and Ambo calls around Ward and Seddon areas as well.

Close call gave me frequencies of he smallish cruise ship anchored in Kaikoura's south bay.

I watched Planes flying high over Richmond and using App Flightradar24 was able to show family the full flight data in real time.

Listened to heaps of marine calls about Motueka and Kaiteriteri as they were in full Xmas mode.

PS  all traffic cars up north SI were either Red or Orange colour, not one white one at all. saw two red and one orange outside the
Blenhiem station on Tuesday 2nd.

Cheers RAYC
