Google Maps updated. The "core" refers to the ASTRO25 core software that runs the network. It's basically the trunking software that runs everything, and it is updated yearly by Motorola. The current release is ASTRO25 core version 7.17. The existing core is already Phase 2 capable, so it's not bei...

Not before time either, they have been left behind with the likes of Queensland and Victoria building a proper network instead of all these separate PMR networks. Qld network has gone nowhere for at least last 9 to 12 months, they ran out of money and did SEQ only (for trunking coverage). The three...

Im not sure about SLSA NSW but in Qld from whatI have seen, they have to carry the radios around in thick plastic protective cover/bags when near water which will not help audio

I would reckon that they (Moto) would be scavenging spares off the other ex-800Mhz sites to keep it running. From memory the Qantas site was a proper type II like Bluescope, whereas elsewhere was a hybrid type 1/2 combo Not sure about Qantas in Sydney and other locations but Brisbane is now running...

Yes we are a little off topic atm, I have not found any other local sites to which I visability of for Ergon in Cairns from the side where the sdr is at, I'm not sure if this is becuase they are testing or the network is still in buildout mode. Site is not peering at this point either.

Hi techman, The RTL sticks are always off - the onboard clock's resonator is usually in the order of 50-100ppm out. If you run up SDR Sharp with the dongle, you can calculate the offset correction factor quite easily, then enter this value into Unitrunker under the Control > Correction field. This ...

Hi, Cairns control 165.19000 - nac 6ee alt 165.500 No peers listed voice/data - 165.35000, 165.65000 site shows as 002-093 cheers You might want to check that control channel, it should be a 12.5 kHz channel. 165.1900 is an old 15/30 kHz assignment. I doubt that it is valid. R You are correct, it s...
