Hi all,
If its anything like how the new RFS P25 system is down here, it will be absolutely 100% crystal clear. Sounds sensational down here.

It sounds pretty good at the moment, lot of testing today and discussion about going live, ( the Uniden HP record function works great) reviewed all the traffics when I got home tonight. There is a problem with low audio from headquarters but they know about that.

I've lost track of why the RFS is going P25 PMR considering they've just migrated to the GRN.
Will the GRN still be their main comms network?

Re: Hawkesbury RFS District going P25 PMR
Most likely run side by side, alot of areas where the GRN doesnt cover, but RFS have exisiting coverage via PMR.
Re: Hawkesbury RFS District going P25 PMR
Hi all, We run both P25 PMR and GRN side by side, no bridge available. There is a fair chunk of area that has no GRN coverage so if 2 major incidents pop up the one in the GRN footprint will get shunted to that, and the other will stay on PMR. They have done it this way here for a couple of years.
The Primary or default comms is PMR however.
On the old PMR they had the ability to drop the links to utilise the 3 seperate FCC's into 3 areas. with the common input they cant do that now.

How do the volunteers feel about the change over?
I would imagine a lot of volos who are not really into investing into a digital scanner, would have old analogue radios that will feel put out?
