Are those UHF digital channels recent additions that may show the area is about to switch or are they the original 'specialist teams' digital that was installed ~ 10 years ago for AOS etc?

Palmerston region does have a couple digital UHF channels but if  they are still using analog for UHF I doubt they would only change over only VHF... maybe they have rotated Tx the on the low band repeaters.

I understand they've been playing with the linking, from what I saw elsewhere, however unless they've gone digital, the ESA band frequencies won't be disabled (at least permanently - the middle of the north island seemed to be getting hit by ducting today, maybe from the south island, the signal was too poor to hear who it was) due to the vehicle radios all being the main radio.

Easy way to tell if they've gone digital, if they have the 1m long aerials, the ESA band is still in the cars. If the aerials about 530mm long it's VHF (digital).. This doesn't include the crossband link aerial (which will be 150ish mm long) but that won't be on all cars.

Have you tried another receiver in case yours has gone deaf?

PN Police appear to have dropped all their 75/76 MHz frequencies and are now using the 485/486MHz frequencies exclusively. 485.225MHz appears to now be PM 1 comms, all the other frequencies in the area are linked to this frequency. Wanganui is unchanged, 75.7875MHz loud'n'clear in Ashhurst.
