Thanks system_tech.

So will NSW GRN end up having the same options and functionality as the Vic MMR and WAPOL PMRN?

Mike, from his previous posts its pretty obvious Mal is talking about ASTRO25. (full P25 trunking) The system already is Smartzone P25 and has been for years. I remember a discussion somewhere that said the GRN will remain Smartzone but go fully digital, not ASTRO 25. That's what I'm trying to clea...

Migrating to P25 is definitely on the cards. Expect a whole lot of congestion ie busies as they split sites in half and operate separate P25 and SmartZone sites on the same location, during the migration process. For example, GPT will be something like 10 x P25 bases and 10 x existing SmartZone bas...

Anyone else notice the weird interference popping up on the GRN? It's been happening on any talk group and on most Sydney sites. Sounds a bit like the frothing sound a cuppaccino machine makes

Started last night and it has been happening during most of today. Very annoying!

Hi all, I thought I'd make these available here before I put them on eBay. I'd rather they go to a good home ;) 1 X AOR AR8000 Wideband hand held scanner. http://www.javiation.co.uk/ar8000.html Comes with Power supply, 2400mAH NiMh batts, original carry pouch & original manual.

Some more Private Call/I-call/interconnect trivia. In times before trunk-tracking scanners, the only way to scan the GRN was to put a site's voice frequencies in a conventional scanner bank and monitor transmissions while pressing the scan button to keep track. This meant any private calls could eas...

And it will scan only 16 talkgroups at a time.
