Before you buy a scanner, there is something else to consider. For some <br>
reason, later Uniden scanners cannot successfully decode the Ambulance <br>
trunking in Wellington (that is ONLY my experience anyway.) An older <br>
UBCD396T decodes successfully, i.e. you can monitor Ambos in WGN no problem.<br>
<br>
With a UBCD396XT, and indeed, a USDS100, you see the scanning of the <br>
trunked network pause, display the talk group briefly, then continue to <br>
scan. No audio is ever heard.<br>
<br>
I have tried to research this and adjust parameters etc, but no luck.<br>
<br>
Anybody else able to monitor ambulance in Wellington on a Uniden?<br>

WFA is digital, not encrypted on the VHF P25 network. The analog frequencies are still active for St John when they come into the area.<br>

Fire is still on ESA<br>

Just looking at the Radio Wiki info for Wellington and I'm not sure about fire or ambo being digital/encrypted or not?<br>

Does anyone know if they are?<br>

Also, are they linked to include areas further up the North Island?<br>
