Queensland Rail DMR Tier 3 Network

[dags19]

it shows the cc and slot number i am only having it scan the frequencies that are listed here at the moment another one seems to be 418.2625 cc 0 sl2 north coast

That's cool dags.... are you compiling a list of this activity as you hear it/ recieve it??

Cheers

Hey Guys

Just chasing an update, is there much activity on the QR DMR, have they fully migrated over to it yet?? Or is there still a bit of both Analog TCR and DMR?

Cheers

[fire_rescue]

Still analogue and DMR only addition i have seen is Toowomba/Oakey area

[NevilleK]

Gold Coast still on 418.150 MHz FM. Tier 3 would be a bit like the old trunking system, I guess.

Are they still on that frequency?

Just in case anyone was playing with this network using a DMR radio instead of DSD+. It is a Tait teir 3 not Moto.

[dags19]

what i can gather they have been having a lot of trouble with this,even the controller has said there pretty crap

[alexallberry]

yeah its pretty hit and miss.

This is mostly irrelevant as manufacturers follow the same DMR standard

No it is not, particularly when you are talking Tier III. Even with Tier II try getting a Hytera radio to work properly on Connect Plus or Capacity Plus. When it comes to Capacity Max you are even further away from the goal posts. The only thing standard about DMR amongst the many manufacturers is the way the vocoder processes the signal. Most have added their little touches just to make life difficult for all concerned.

My bad, thankyou for enlightening me. I've definitely heard about Motorola making it difficult for other manufacturers when it comes to working with their systems but I didn't realise it was so widespread, I've seen Tait take interoperability quite seriously over the years so I guess I never really put much thought into it

[railscan]

Not a problem, we all have to learn. Technically speaking a conventional TierII repeater of any manufacturer should pass the signal from any TierII compliant radio. Maybe I should have said theoretically speaking...

Various manufacturers have tried to stick a close as possible to the open standard that is DMR. Others have sort of adhered but deviated just enough to lock the system to their brand of equipment only. I suppose that is business, which is fairly competitive when it comes to DMR.

Unlike NXDN which is really only a two horse race, Kenwood (NXDN) and Icom (IDAS). But even then there are difference at the higher levels that excludes each other equipment from being used.

Not all manufacturers follow the same DMR standard. And those who follow, they don't follow them to the T.

Why didn't I say that? Hang on a minute, I did.

Any updates to this system?

Anything new ?

[jwind31]

I can scan there network on a whistler TX-1, but cant rely on help if you want it on a radio

Does it trunk track the tier 3 correctly?

[Radio_Australia]

Anyone done a LCN scan on this system?

[Phil]

iv created a spreadsheet for the DSDPlus LCN and Uniden's LSN ill move it into a Google Excel sheet so people can access it and will submit the link later today
