Yep thats all folks. the traffic u will hear will be from the country cars coming into/ out of town... and the odd radio support call.

and i wouldnt even bother with a digital scanner.. save my money n buy something better.....

I've heard the occasional VKI analogue lately as well. It was definitely VKI and it was on a repeater freq, not a car freq. Didn't see what channel.

I've been listening to VKI for about 20 years and the one I will always remember was the cop that called urgent "I've been shot, I've been shot." It was the cop that was shot on Guildford rd (under the Reid Hwy overpass?) by Brendan Abbott's brother (At least, I think it was him). That was the first time I heard cops swearing on the air. "Get a ***k*** ambulance here NOW". There must have been about 99 cars all call in to attend, all wanting to go priority to the same location at the same time.

TA-team member, just need some clarification on who you are if you can.

I'm guessing a lot of members are scratching there heads as to how you know all this info, and were able to listen to digital on that night as well.

Just so you know there have been MANY posers around that sign up, ramble on then disappear.

Any info you give is great, we just want to make sure you are legit
