[TheList] Police VHF linking

Hey All!

Thanks for the responses. Completely understand the common sense around the rebroadcast of said channel - I'm not out to break any laws 🙂

I guess you could counter that argument on the basis SDR is not broadcasting any one station specifically, its just connecting to a device that can receive radio frequencies and relay them via the internet. So the remote user connects to the device, and keys in the frequency they want to listen to (whether that be Police, McDonalds, Broadcast FM.

KiwiSDR is a great example of this, they even sell Raspberry Pi SDR kits that you can connect up to their community page, so you can listen to radio networks around the world.

Welcome.

Radiocommunications Act 1989 - in a nutshell, illegal to rebroadcast what isn't intended for you.

With the legal crap out of the way, some members can probably help you off list with your query... :D

First time posting on The List!

Good to see some chatter about the police on here. I am one of the few lucky ones who have a SDR running in the Eastern District where the police comms are all still analogue on UHF. They also operate on 75mhz, but I can't pick that up very well for some reason. My main place of residence (Wellington) is all digital unfortunately.

Wider question - does anyone here operate SDR servers in an area where the police are still on analogue? I've only ever been able to listen to Hawkes Bay comms, would be great to listen to another area over the web!

I've just started to get into the whole SDR scene, and pretty new to radio in general.

Cheers

I live in Waimate and run a pretty big discone and im hearing all of
Dunedin comms, chatter back and forwards to the units etc.

I can also just get Christchurch Control Tower at the airport and even
clearer off mt Mary where the repeater is for AirNZ.
