Canterbury Trunking

[rocky28965]

The RR database shows Kordia KorKor Network & TL Parker in Canterbury
I notice they don't appear in the Wiki.
Are they still active?

The TL Parker network is the Orion (not to be confused with Orion the power company...) Con+ on RW.. when we put in a couple of repeaters in the Waikato, we knew it as OC3. The RR listing is for an old Motorola trunking system called Smartnet... I won't bother monitoring because the only ones listed is community patrols, who are now on the OC3 network using an encrypted TG (and because it's an old trunking system - TL Parker would have moved on years ago.) CommPatrols got their own radio system when Canterbury police went P25 (police didn't want them or anyone else on their system at the time)

I'll monitor the KorKor network and see if I get any activity, but I don't recall seeing much.. Tetra isn't a big thing here. The channels ARE currently licensed though.

little bit of activity it seems, but I can't decode anything useful as I'm getting wideband intermod or something
