Doesn't look like they're PMR links, they are licenced as "Land Mobile System - > 30MHz" not "Point to Point"?

A quick look around the ACMA site tells me that the PMR link frequencies are:

928.4375/852.4375 and 930.1000/854.1000 between AFP HQ and Harcourt Hill
928.2875/852.2875 and 931.3000/855.3000 between Harcourt Hill and Isaacs Ridge
928.6875/852.6875 and 930.5000/854.5000 between Isaacs Ridge and Mt Tennent
928.0625/852.0625 between Isaacs Ridge and Bald Hill
928.3125/852.3125 between Isaacs Ridge and Tuggeranong Hill
930.9000/854.9000 between Isaacs Ridge and Mt Stromlo
928.3375/852.3375 between Mt Stromlo and Oak Hill
930.2500/854.2500 between Oak Hill and Chaton Ridge
460.5000/451.0000 and 488.3250/483.1250 between Mt Stromlo and Mt Ainslie
460.6000/451.1000 between Mt Ainslie and the AFP Training Centre

hi all, dunno what it is yet, i checked out the black mountain and isaccs ridge frequencies and both are dead. also did a scan from 864 to 869mhz with the only traffic being the 800mhz trunking from isaccs ridge.
may have something to do with the P25 data ive heard, and could be currently transmitting on what we know as zone 2 vote 039.
There is also regular voice on that vote channel too.

Or maybe for the US president visit.
Another odd thing i noticed was recent enteries for each state police force in 153Mhz ... just one frequency for a state

Is it MDT? or not sure? (would think MDT would be over Telstra 3G?)
