SA Firefighter General / Newbie buying a UBCD396XT
October 08, 2013, 05:31:30 PM
Hi everyone,
I will probably be buying a Uniden UBCD396XT from Jim at ozscan for $380.
It will come with SAGRN emergency services pre-programmed.
Does anyone have any feedback (good or bad) about this scanner? Is it a good buy?
I currently have a ex SAPOL Motorola XTS3000 radio, but I want to upgrade, and get a scanner that is a but smaller in size. (If anyone wants this radio, I will probably be selling it soon)
Also, If I ever want to change the channels etc for the radio, is it easy to do? If so, is it by using freescan?
I guess my concern is, when updates come through and published on ozscan's blog, will it be easy for me to install?
I am a no0b when it comes to scanners, but I am quite tech-savvy.

Also, I assume the UBCD396XT picks up the current analogue GRN transmissions.

Thanks everyone.

Hey.
I was checking out Strathalbyn SES and CFS, and I noticed that Strathalbyn SES have a 91 with rescue equipment, and Strathalbyn CFS have a 34P with rescue gear. (according to fire-brigade.asn.au)

So both Strathalbyn emergency services have road crash? If so, do they respond together? Or do they have separate response areas?

SAAS / Priority 3 jobs
July 29, 2012, 07:15:17 PM
So I was looking at the feed today, and noticed that priority 3 jobs have started showing up. e.g -
29-07-12 19:30:56   RP190 PR: 3 - 20 ALBION ST RIDGEHAVEN 84 N 12 D0676 Disp: 19:30 Overdose / - SAAS Unit Redwood Park
29-07-12 19:02:41   M180 PR: 3 - 6 SCARBOROUGH TCE DOVER GARDENS 152 P 8 D0660 Disp: 19:02 Overdose / - SAAS Unit Marion
29-07-12 18:53:17   G181 PR: 3 - 2 RUDALL ST GAWLER EAST 23 P 11 D0656 Disp: 18:53 Abdominal P - SAAS Unit Gawler

From my understanding (SA Scan);
- P1 and P2 are lights & sirens Failed primary assessment, Failed secondary assessment.
- P4-P9 are no lights and sirens (Transports etc)

SO what is Priority 3 used for? and do they use lights & sirens?

Cheers
