Vicradio Zone Forum

[matthewn1983]

The Vicradio Zone forum has been shutdown, a statement on their website;

NEWS: The forums experiment is over. They weren’t really being used in the capacity I’d hoped for and they seemed a bit hit and miss. Thanks to those who contributed and did share some of their findings and knowledge

Their blog is still active however, and some current(?) MMR and other emergency service information published.

I know its not Sydney related, but I know a few members here were following what was going on down in Victoria, especially with the CFA updates.

As more agencies go digital people are losing interest in scanning. Unless you want to sit there with a computer/laptop wired into a discriminator tap on a radio. Not practical if you want to go mobile! Unless the radio scanner companies keep up with these new technologies people will look at other interests to follow.
All I seem to listen to now is GRN, Airband or my local shopping centre security.

I think the issue stopping mass production of digital scanners is the patent tied up with AMBE+2 vocoder owned by DVSI. It is proprietary information.
