<p>Has anyone ever used RF > Fiber converters?</p>
<p>Not sure if its feasible but he could install an antenna stack on the top of a hill somewhere pointing back to Christchurch (actually north or south too - high gain to Dunedin?) - and bring back the RF spectrum on fiber and then back to Coax for his receivers?</p>
<p>They are expensive, we looked at it at work to bring back 4 antennas from the middle of a race track so we could get 360 degree coverage and not have no loss on the cable.<br /><br />He would have to get land owner permission to run the fiber back to his house, but not knowing his location or anything it might be doable. </p>

<div>It was a very quiet location to scan, got some marine traffic and cordless phones, not much else.</div>

<p>Hey ya.</p>
<p>Honestly following all the Akaroa requests and answers over the last few weeks it sounds like Akaroa is in a black hole for RF and Scanning.. <br />The amount of traffic that would exist there sounds like its only when something is happening there........ <br />Perfect place for listening and transmitting HF though.. </p>
<p><br />I guess an IP remote controlled scanner in a better location streaming (encrypted and private) over the internet might be a better option if you want to listen to Anything. </p>

If it was the control channel you wouldn't hear any voice as it sounds like a machine gun and is solely a data channel gives the channel grants. Unfortunately there is no commercial scanner available that can trunktrack MPT1327. You can use a program like Unitrunker with the DVB-T dongle that you purchased but as far as your 996T goes it won't follow the conversations. </span>

The reason they don't work for you is coverage. Akaroa Fire don't use the Fire CHCH channel for that very reason. They operate on the Ex Police Analog Central Canterbury Channel. The frequency for that will be around 75mhz. Best time to find out would be when they have been turned out. Once you find it you will hear almost zero police chatter on it as its only used for visiting units to the district that don't have a digital radio installed in their vehicle and you will only hear fire appliances from the Central and North Canterbury areas that have been turned out and responding to incidents. </div>

<div dir="auto">Hi all
<div dir="auto"> </div>
<div dir="auto">So I'm learning how to program my 996t trunking scanner I have no idea what I'm doing I have a frequency which is 417.6625</div>
<div dir="auto">I'm guessing this is the control channel I programmed it in I can hear people talking generally one way and it makes funny noises at the end of the conversation I've tried programming it and as a system but I need tgid can anyone explain this to me I'm in Akaroa also if anybody knows the Christchurch fire frequency that I can pick up in Akaroa would be great I have tried the ones on radiowiki but they don't seem to work I really want to learn how to get the full potential out of my scanner but it's all of the above my head thanks kindly.</div>
<div dir="auto">Cheers </div>
