They have allocated a number of VHF-Hi frequencies but as yet no UHF ones. It remains to be seen if they will:WPXZBP wrote:UHF for metro, VHF-Hi for country
* Use the 420-430Mhz ex-amateur band
* Use the 468Mhz police band after they move to digital
* Use an allocation somewhere else

Some people here have seen one, but not me, yetmeg wrote:So what will happen when country appliances come to metro fires or vice versa? Or will there be new radios which do both frequencies?WPXZBP wrote:UHF for metro, VHF-Hi for country
The new radios are dual band (VHF and UHF) and are able to automatically cross-band repeat between bands. They look like very sweet radios!

Vhf/Uhf radios
The new radios have one head and two bodies . I have used and operated three that were in service for demonstration. Two were mounted in briefcases with the antennas on the briefcase as well . The radios have digital if strips that have a very high rejection ratio . With the antennas as close as they were there was only 0.8 db desensing (brilliant) .

Uhf rumours
Motorola and Tait were the ones discussed but at the time they were waiting for other prototypes to become available. Each radio had 160 channels and included VHF MARINE. The radios as mentioned before have cross band repeat and the ability to tx and rx at the same time ie you can broadcast on either vhf or uhf or vhf and uhf. They can be used in conjunction with uhf cb .What can happen at a incident is the radio set up to crossband to vhf repeaters via el cheapo uhf handhelds .
To my knowledge they are not looking at 420/430 Mhz but using existing Ses Uhf allocations in conjunction with additional vhf channels.

I don't think so. It's a 5W simplex channel. My guess would be fireground handhelds or firestation paging.wascanner wrote:The new metro Frequency is already registered with the ACMA- Australian Communications and media Authority. This is one new frequency for the whole metro area and it is
