[TheList] 75.3500 Mhz reception issues

If you're North facing, what's your Northland coverage like? The other Area VTG is ip linked to the Northland channels.. If you don't get that, then it's fair to suggest your aerial or scanner is deaf to the ESA frequencies.

What are the ESA Auckland fire frequencies like from your place?
