The Metropolitan Mobile Radio (MMR) is UHF, the Regional Mobile Radio (RMR) - and thus the CFA - is VHF.

166.575 MHz is the reported Control Channel of Pretty Sally, and Seymour is about 42 km from Pretty Sally, so depending on what type of antenna you are using, will depend on how well you receive the signal. From my experience, most scanners require a fairly strong signal to reliably decode P25.

The proposed frequencies for Seymour Hill are:-

165.7125, 166.0125, and 166.4625

so it might be worthwhile keeping a watch on them.

Several towers are already active and there are plans to have District 12 active for the upcoming Summer if they keep to schedule.

Ok guys ,,,

I got sick of the Chinese whispers and went straight to the horses mouth to get the answers ,

I have found out the following ,

firstly as we all know the RRDS/RMR roll out has been delayed due to the work bans at ESTA , the estimated roll out date is April , around the 5th ,

and also the interesting thing I found out as we all know the CAD /Metro area was not if the first round or the up grades , it turns out it has never been on the table , the CAD /Metro area being districts /regions 7/8/14/13 will stay the same , there will be no change there is no plans to change this current network , nor is there any funding for this ,

if any one wants to know more send me an email or pm
