Just on the skip issue you mentioned.. The problem with the skip/ducting on ESA (I'd put money on that being the offender, rather than UHF) is that the police (and fire as they're in bed together) don't use CTCSS tones, so the repeater receiver naturally opens up to everything. <br>
<br>
Unfortunately that's poor initial design on Police part, to add tones after the fact basically can't happen logistically... every RT and repeater needs to be reprogrammed at the same time to avoid downtime. Doing it could be done slowly, add the tones to RT TX first, then add the tone to the RX of the repeater. Obviously you'd have to see if there's a tone on the Aussie TX and not reuse that here (that'd really be RSMs domain) Would also help with that clown down Levin ways with his crappy Baofeng or whatever ham radio that he shouldn't have, transmitting on the police channels. <br>
<br>
Over the last few years it seems to be less of an issue on Ham1/Waikato Rural at least as more Aussie emergency services are going UHF/digital etc. But also remember 76megs is more susceptible to noise than VHF/UHF frequencies. Also helping the fact of people moving away from ESA/A-band is Tait is the only manufacturer making that equipment anymore. <br>

<div dir="ltr">RSM work in mysterious ways. You'll notice they don't list any Police frequencies at all. I wonder if this falls under the same sort of category - that its RSM approved (lets face it, Fire wouldn't go rogue on frequencies), and its just not published for privacy and security of communications?

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm a bit confused as well.!</p>
<p>On the RSM website the frequencies assigned to Fire and Emergency New Zealand between 492.21875MHz and 497.19375MHz are shown as "Land Mobile - mobile transmit" and the repeater frequencies don't start until 498.800MHz. So how are the lower frequencies being used as "portable frequencies" for incident ground communications?</p>
<p>Cheers.</p>
<p>Grunter1.</p>
