Surf Life Saving NSW now Digital

Post by crafty » Sun Sep 20, 2015 5:23 pm

Hi everyone
The Mid North Coast Branch of Surf Life Saving NSW has switched to digital. The Mid North Coast Branch covers Macksville Scotts Head, South West Rocks, Hat Head, Kempsey Crescent Head, Port Macquarie, Tacking Point, Wauchope Bonny Hills and Camden Haven clubs.

The North Coast Branch (Wooli, Woolgoolga, Coffs Harbour, Urunga, Nambucca Heads) is still analog.

I am using DSD+ and an Icom PCR1500 to decode, and can confirm SLSNSW are using DMR/MotoTRBO.

Below is 50 lines from the log file:

Good catch Allison
Any information on Colour Code (Eg DCC Number)
Looks like the LRRP program within DSD+ will also work for location display
Sydney Surfcoms is still analog on 471.2000 186.2 (heard them last Wednesday talking to Sutherland Council about lifeguard ops)
I would say that the decision to switch to digital would have been tied in with the state of the art SLNSW Northern Operations Centre at Port Macquarie that opened in July this year. Just found their documents confirming same

Digital Radio Network
As per the recommendations in the 2013 Coastal Radio Network Review, SLSNSW is rolling out a Digital Radio Network over the
next few seasons. Phase one of this rollout will occur this season in the Mid North Coast Branch (Kempsey-Port Macquarie).
Clubs/Services in this area are asked to talk with their Branch Director of Lifesaving regarding radio re-programming for the
coming season prior to sending their radios to an approved Radio Communications Service Agent.
