Heard one, yesterday.... Female cop advised they had to use spray to subdue a violent offender and were taking him to hospital to be de-contaminated. Asked for another crew to attend the hospital to assist. "This bloke is gonna go off like a frog in a sock when we try to get him out". I liked it. Gr...

Very likely!!
Thanks.

Have heard that problem with the local link to Newcastle, too. That's what prompted me to ask.

Thanks for that!!!!!!

Cool!

I guess you don't want to take expensive cars to a riot

Oh, yeah.....would the links be via landline?

Thanks!
Pretty much what I thought.

Last week, I heard VKG Tamworth ask for a radio check from cars in the Lismore area...they got a couple of "loud and clear" responses.
Shortly after, they asked for a check by VKG Newcastle..."loud and clear".
Nothing since.

Testing some sort of emergency back-up or bypass...??

Heard some action at Ballina, today. Supervisor requested a couple of GD cars to meet him and "State Crime 124" at a service station to prepare for an arrest at a nearby motel. Sounded like a big deal. Major criminal? Seems to have gone without a hitch. Will listen to the news in the morning. Anyway...

Did you end up going with the RG213. I use that for my main antenna run of about 20m and its really good stuff.

213 is great....as long as you don't have too many corners to negotiate
