Hi guys,
Am an older chook with a police scanner, wonder if anyone can through any light on why I suddenly cannot pick up transmissions from tasking vehicles to VKI. I only monitor the Rockingham through Freo channels.
I can still get the cars in the Mandurah area, but not the above, anyone know whats going on. Thanks
not picking up transmissions

Your answer may be here. It is possibly the end of metro analogue.

Okay thanks guys that explains it then. It was on all night at my place,I liked the security it gave me, living alone, as I got to hear if there were any nasties hanging around my area, sod them. Why couldnt they just licence them and not let the ratbags own them, would have been simpler if you ask me, Maybe they didnt think of that.
Hopefully, some mastermind will find a way around this.

I think the towies will be the hardest hit. They're going to have to pay a spotter for a larger number of their jobs now.
