All metro districts and crime portfolios are now on digital talkgroups. There is no area left in the metro area that is using the analogue channels.
The reason you can still here the main consoles is that they are still patched through to the analogue repeaters as a fail safe. The fail safe being is that all the radios can also run on the 468MHZ frequencies if they need to.
Most special events are already being run on digital talkgroups that are not linked to the analoue network.
At anytime now now they will decide to pull the analogue plug and goodbye scanners.

VKI to NJ102,we dont have option button up here
a curiosity question:
Even though it is been broadcast in digital, it still needs to be broadcast on a frequency, will these be on the existing frequencies??? or somewhere completely different?

Digital signals are a different frequency as said.

They don't mind the media talking to them about listening on scanners. They know we do it (and in fact we often know more about a situation than they do because of it). No problem with it. I have regular chats with Police Media and other Inspectors about what I have heard that night / day..
