Advise on which scanner to buy to pickup WAPolice etc?
Love some more info on that. (Found some: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_data_terminal) We use pagers for jobs on an open VHF band. From the sounds of it they don't use APCO, still VHF or UHF?

For radio comms yes. Not all Fire appliences have the MDT screens so there's more radio traffic, but jobs are given out via pager to the station to start with anyway.
I think 99.9% of Ambo's have the screens though. Unsure how they 'work' though.

That's okay, I talked with our "head man" about it, apparently it was going to happen a while ago down here but due to small budgets it will not likely occur. Thnaks for your help!

Actually a new question, what's the difference between pagers and MDT's?

So why use both for jobs? The point of a new system was to stop people seeing the pagers?
