across the channel normally. All voice dispatches come<br>across normally. No Sit Reps from appliances other than<br>certain volunteer stations, no 2nd alarm transmissions, no<br>K99, K88 or arrival messages of any type via voice either.<br>No stop messages. Voice traffic has probaby been deducted by<br>say two thirds. For example you will hear Wgtn 217, 211,<br>Newtown 221, House Fire , then the address. Following that<br>you will not hear anything over the air for the rest of the<br>job. You sometimes hear further messges passed to appliances<br>en route but once they locate you wont hear anything more<br>99% of the time. Radio techs have been on the channel a fair<br>bit recently too. <br>Likewise i recently heard Fire Comm advise an appliance<br>responding from a neighbouring area, to advise you Otaki 411<br>has submitted a K99.<br>Seems this changes affects Masterton, Wellington, Hutt,<br>Kapiti, Otaki. Doesn't seem to effect some smaller
stations.<br>From a half technical scanner listerner of 10 years sounds<br>like Data Terminals testing SMS messaging or digital radio<br>trials. <br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TheList mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:TheList@radiowiki.org.nz" href="mailto:TheList@radiowiki.org.nz">TheList@radiowiki.org.nz</a><br><a href="http://radiowiki.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/thelist_radiowiki.org.nz" target="_blank">http://radiowiki.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/thelist_radiowiki.org.nz</a><br><br><br></div></div></div></body></html>
