Actually these are FCC allocated for US flagged vessels, rather than being allocated internationally by ITU like the VHF channels, but vessels flagged from other countries often also use them.

Re: Mexico's Cartels build own National Radio System

Some of the cartel systems are pretty well specced. MOTOTRBO and NXDN with crypto, occasionally some LTR trunking and the like too.

Re: The times they are a changing

Most of the assessments and conclusions Yaesu made in that document are pretty bizarre and poorly founded. Not to mention the really silly typos.

Re: Parademic dies during canyoning rescue (Carrington Falls

An absolute tragedy for all involved :(

The Australian's headline for their article covering this was just plain offensive. "Veteran paramedic killed in botched canyon rescue."

Re: Highway Patrol to form seperate State Command

Skippy was on TV last week talking about it. Hopefully they implement a few more of the recommendations from the Parsons review.

Re: VIC MMR tracking with DTS96/PRO96

There's no need for ASKs for each system to enable roaming between ISSI linked P25 systems. As an example, say you've got the GRN, and it's linked to MMR. You get off the plane and fire up your GRN radio. It does a full spectrum scan for control channels, it finds MMR advertising the same WACN ID, g...
