Not necessarily anything to do with digital.westernwedgey wrote:Seems to be all over, it was funny though Radio Techs asked VKI to talk over him while listening to 2 radios, I suspect 1 was an old radio and the other a new digital radio...
VKI counted from 1 - 10 and backwards and also said stuff like VKI radio test 1,2,3,4...
From what I've been told the links between the Police repeaters and VKI is actually full duplex, so VKI can hear other cars even when he's talking. The test might have been a way to make sure the link was working in both directions.

I doubt that it will be to do with the digital system as they will be in the 500+MHz range....I could be wrong but like I said, I doubt itwesternwedgey wrote:Seems to be all over, it was funny though Radio Techs asked VKI to talk over him while listening to 2 radios, I suspect 1 was an old radio and the other a new digital radio...

Your 100% right there Just incase the VKI op is on a long winded readout of a job and a car is trying to call urgent (Seconds count).vk6hgr wrote:Not necessarily anything to do with digital.westernwedgey wrote:Seems to be all over, it was funny though Radio Techs asked VKI to talk over him while listening to 2 radios, I suspect 1 was an old radio and the other a new digital radio...

That doesnt really work though - because the people with the button stuck down cant hear VKI telling them to watch it! (unless of course they have 2 radios in the car, in which case they'd be getting horrible feedback)kellie wrote:Also when someone's radio is stuck they cut over the transmission and tell them eg: "All vehicles on 46, watch you pressel switch".

And the 2nd radio will only work if there is enough freq separation or parked next to the repeater he he
