Problems at Chullora?

Post by Mike Alpha » Sat Sep 04, 2010 12:18 pm

Sounds like Chullora voice frequency 415.750 is on the blink. When a talk group is switched to it, there's a crackling noise with no audio. Causing dramas for affiliated services.

I also notice fire brigade are running both TGs 13024 and 13040 un-patched.

Reason enough not to go encrypting everything.

Im a bit confused by that one rusty.. a faulty exciter will break any comms system, be it analog P25 clear or P25 digital..?

What I mean't was that it was a scanner enthusiast that noticed the problem, so that it could be fixed. If it was encrypted it may have taken longer to be noticed, therefore continuing to cause problems.
