Fires IGC radios were upgraded for fireground channels on UHF (this means they don't use the VHF Fire 1 - 4 channels very often, and also allows multiple Incidents to occur on different zoned channels.) It has nothing to do with the radios that they talk to the comms centre on. They're still transmitting in digital mode. They are in the right band for whenever fire change over to the digital NGCC network.<br><br>Ambo and fires pages are on the Spark paging frequency, where they've always been, and I'd suggest this is a more reliable source than from individual stations transmitters as I'm sure that would only be fairly low power. The pages haven't gone digital, nor have they moved or shifted from the Spark frequency. I'd recommend you look at the Spark frequency and set up filters in PDW for what you're wanting to look at, if you're having issues. <hr>Sent from a mobile device.
