Thanks for the info guys,
I wonder if they will just continue down the coast from Nowra or do areas further south and leave Batemans Bay till last.
As always will let you know when I hear something.

I've had a couple of mixed messages from the Albury Region the past couple of weeks about Police in the area disappearing off air.

Sounds like the switch may have occurred down there

Can confirm that Grant, the albury cops have gone digital as i had the guys at my work asking me what they need to do to be able to listen down there.
Just gotta hope they put in the budget request for the scanners they need

Hi all,
They went digital 2 weeks ago. Same channels as before just the usual change from analog CT of 107.2HZ to NAC 61F.

Wow a You Tube video on a vote group going to digital, Facinating.
Cant wait for the sequal when the encryption gets turned on.

Just for everyone's info, ch50 which is 469.075 from Peak Alone near Narooma is now digital. I noticed it this morning and it must have only recently changed over otherwise I would have noticed it sooner.
I am assuming now that the Eurobodalla area is now digital but haven't confirmed it yet.
EDIT: It seems like all Eurobodalla is digital

It seems you are correct Mark, same freqs as before with the same NAC as previously posted, looks like it's a full change-over (ie no analog left broadcasting at all).

So only your end of the South Coast to go now Mark, and my money says you won't have to wait too long either!
