Emergency Service Links (CTCSS)

Post by AusPTT »

As well as listening to the Emergency Services (because I can across most of the parts of QLD I travel (and live in) I also have the Link frequencies for Emergency Services programmed in my scanner.

I'm wondering if anyone else has these programmed in and particularly interested to see if the CTCSS tones change across the State>?

My hope is the tones are consistent (but I suspect not) so I can program them in the scanner. If not I'll need to monitor them open carrier or program in a number of different channels (per CTCSS).

One of the key reasons for programming the tones is many users (Not just Emergency Services have the same allocations across the State and of Course the Emergency Services also have shared frequencies so I'll have a Police link come up, but it will be the Ambos on the frequency.

I'm already seeing inconsistencies like
Cairns QAS 131.8 and some 123.0
Cairns QPS Links 186.2
Cairns QFES Links 141.3
Blackwater QAS 162.2
Blackwater QPS 100.0
