Also further, the document says that ALL RFS radios capable of digital GRN have been enabled. Sounds like they're going to start moving a lot more districts over to GRN soon.

a heap of districts have moved or are moving to the GRN, i saw Lake George's GRN TG (GD35)active off Black Mountain in the ACT on Wed.
there are a few areas where the GRN is patchy they are moving to P25 PMR. one area is nearly done and there is another following in the next 6-8 months.
cheers

Any idea if Baulkham Hills RFS will be making the switch to the GRN?

Just from what I've seen locally this appears to be correct, radios that were disabled not that long ago are now able to affiliate.

I don't know what deals have been done (if any) but this must mean a substantial cash injection for the DSTA... activating another 6,000 odd radios all at once!

Can't wait till the word gets around and all the fire control centres start whining about members activating billing cycles! :lol:

So this will free up more frequencies in the 450-500mhz range to sell off to other users? Being this band was running out of allocated frequencies.
