Hi folks, I am tossing up whether to upgrade my analogue radios to digital.  I'm happy with analogue and would like to continue using for as long as possible but don't want to be caught out if they suddenly decide to shut the analogue network off. Bear in mind, I'm not a technically minded person so simple layman's terms work best for me :)

 

Thanks in advance, blgnz

Depends on what you're using, but assuming your using something like a Tait or Motorola radio.

 

 

 

If you're paying for a service with the likes of Kordia, Vital, etc. They'll let you know when they're planning on shutting down their old MPT1327 networks, and get you switched over to digital

 

If you're paying RSM for a frequency license, you can keep using your gear for as along as you keep paying for the license to use that frequency.

 

If you're not paying anything at all, you're probably using a PRS channel, this is open for anyone to use, but is limited to only analog, and a fairly low power output
