Does anybody know what the new police radios are going to be. They have already starting to use some in parallel with the old system. Listening on Ch16 Rockingham police are loud and clear but VKI has a lot of hash on the signal and is at times almost unreadable.

Re: Police radio changes
I'd say as the new digital system implementation moves on maintenance on the analogue system will slow down. If a repeater dies they might just bring forward the plans to use digital exclusively in that area.Mike wrote:Does anybody know what the new police radios are going to be.

The digital system uses spectrum in the 502Mhz band. When an area moves to digital you'll hear nothing on the usual frequencies.
