I'm not familiar enough with digital, but I assume they would be separate from Police as all the police channels are encrypted, and from what I understand Fire are just digital with no encryption. I think I read it on this list so perhaps someone in the area could pipe up and let everyone know :) </p>

<pre class="k9mail">Great post Richard,<br /><br />Are wellington Fire on P25 conventional or on their own talk group on the<br />existing police network.<br /><br />-----Original Message-----<br />From: TheList [mailto:thelist-bounces@radiowiki.org.nz] On Behalf Of<br />DogSecurity - Richard<br />Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 5:26 PM<br />To: thelist@radiowiki.org.nz<br />Subject: Re: [TheList] Unusual Police Frequency<br /><br />I could see the appeal for a couple reasons (despite the fact it's illegal)<br /><br />Firstly it would be nice just to carry around one radio/Scanner rather than<br />a couple. I have a Tait T5015 (yes only RX is programmed) that's 450-520MHz<br />so I'm limited to UHF therefore can't get Waikato Fire as they are VHF (In<br />fact unless someone can correct me, there's no plans to go UHF - and only<br />Auckland and Wellington are UHF, Wellington being Digital also) so if I<br />want to listen to Fire I need to carry around my Icom R5 also (which
is<br />still a great scanner, by the way)<br /><br />Secondly, a Uniden 72/92XLT is still around ~180 on TradeMe, a T2000 is<br />~150 and has the benefit of being able to transmit. [Don't try this at home,<br />kids, illegal, here be dragons etc...] With enough know-how you could hook a<br />UHF T2000 to a VHF-High T2000 together and you have an instant repeater on<br />the cheap that's tuned for that particular range so will outperform any<br />scanner. Illegal on both the facts that you're not paying RSM for a<br />licensed frequency and also because you are rebroadcasting something you<br />aren't the intended recipient. But suddenly if you're an Ambo/Air/whoever<br />else fan listening with an RT rather than a scanner, you aren't limited to<br />just VHF-High receiving. <br />You'd have to be a pretty diehard fan to go through all that effort though,<br />and silly because it will catch up with you at some stage.<br /><br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt
