<p>Definitely UHF antennas - they appear to be RFI elevated feed
colinear with spring traps</p>
<p>Main reason for asking was to save me having to put another radio

<div dir="ltr">Late response. I'm not aware of any IGC channels
being fitted onto 'fleet' vehicles*. UHF is used for LMR in the
Auckland area, not sure how far down into BOP it goes, possible
the vehicles you're seeing roam into the Auckland (UHF) areas,
but the rest are still ESA/75Mhz. Possible they're running
shorter antennas.

their IGC-equivalent radios in addition to the UHF LMR.</div>

am noticing more and more these days fire service utes either
running <br>
around with both VHF and UHF antennas or just a UHF antenna
only (BoP <br>
region)<br>
<br>
Curious if the utes with UHF only still have full contact with
Fire <br>
Comms or are they just set up for local fire ground radio
support?<br>
<br>
Does Tauranga have a UHF channel now that is linked to the VHF
fire comm <br>
channel?<br>
<br>
Also is there any UHF linking in the BoP region?<br>
<br>
Please don't make me have to go out and purchase a frequency
counter and <br>
find myself a friendly ute driver and sit there triggering his
mic, lol<br>
