As everyone knows melbourne enmergency coms are all digital. p25 however laterly i have been hearing craigburn frankstone broadmedows ect. or is it just the cbd thats digital and all of the outer suburbs analogue. or i could be wrong and they could be on the country channels for all the bushfires. anyone have a updated map of all the cfa and police regions for the state when i google it i often find very outdated info 73,s

that is the trunking system that the MFB, AV - Metro, and VicPol. as Michael said if the CFA cover that area all good, you will find you may still hear the MFB on sites near there

Broadmeadows

MFB area on MMR Network (Unencrypted)

Craigieburn

CFA area on VHF Analogue (Unencrypted)

Frankston

Epping

Given areas such as Epping and Craigieburn are in reality border stations between the MFB's Metropolitan Fire District and CFA areas it's not uncommon to have both agencies attend the same call in these areas.

You'll often have MFB trucks from Broadmeadows or Somerton attend the Craigieburn or Greenvale area with CFA for jobs, etc.

Epping has an MFB and CFA presence.

CFA use digital/analogue radios - recently replaced as part of the CFA radio replacement project.

They will be using digital at some stage, but for now their radios are set to use analogue channels.

Having said that some groups may choose to use p25 for fireground channels for testing.

if i buy a UNIDEN UBCD396XT do they come pre programed with the mmr and metro ambos?

I am sure that you would be able to program them in

I highly doubt it - as all the info in the scanners are generic - it may cover what you are wanting to listen to - however it could be in a generic bank/search pattern

You will probably be able to find someone's data file with it all pre-programmed and use a cable to upload to scanner

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
