Trunking in New Zealand
 

Hi, does anyone know where I can get some info on this?

I would like to know if there is a list of freqs, or even what types of
systems are used here (E1, E2 ED etc)

I have found that a protocol MPT 1327 is in widespread use here, but I'm not
sure how this relates to E1 E2 etc.

I have found a trunked band freq spread (406-410 mobile & 414-418 base) but
I'm nut sure which freqs to enter into my uniden 245XLT

Do I just search between these in the normal manner and enter all that I
find??

TIA

Southern Kiwi,

MPT is widespread throughout the country because Tait is the supplier of
most radios in New Zealand. It's a bit like Motorola's stronghold over
America. For many years the only trunked radios Tait made were MPT radios
(because it is an open standard. Now they also manufacture a few LTR
radios as well. Soon they will be releasing an APCO 25 capable digital
radio, but this will not be trunked it will just be plain old digital.

As for where to find the frequencies see if the Communications Authority
has a web site you can search, otherwise have a look through Yahoo for
groups on New Zealand scanning. Apart from that search the trunk bands
for data sounds and see what you recognise.

Over the last couple of years a few Motorola trunk systems have also
started to pop up around New Zealand as well I understand but I don't
really know where they are.

The Yahoo group Trunk Scan Australia does have a few New Zealanders on it
also that may be able to help you with what your looking for.

Thanks for that Brian, when I find the data channel, do I just put it in the
trunked bank?
And I will try that Yahoo group

There's a fair bit of EDACS in NZ.

if it is an MPT1327 system you won't be able to track it at all with
just the 245XLT scanner
it is not supported by that scanner, at the moment there is only one
scanner than is able to track it and that is the WInradio software radio


you will have to find either a motorola or EDACS system

MPT1327 TeamTalk system have switched over to EDACS. Plus various
business users. The Auckland Volunteer Coastguard also operates on
EDACS for training exercises and Spotter Plane OPs). 859-864MHz
(mobile XMT)

Antares Communications, Netcomm Services, Network Resources LTD King
Communications LTD, Radcom Rentals, TL Parker 800Mhz Motorola Trunking
