All ears tuned to Qld police scanners

THE days of the crime reporter hunched over a police scanner will be gone for good in Queensland if police succeed in a bid to keep digital communications secret.

Instead, the media could find itself restricted to a 24-hour police media unit, SMS messaging services and a broadcast dissemination service to newsrooms

Bah...  What a waste of 90 dollas...  Oh well was good listening for a bit...  Although... It could be years before they actually do something...

It took them the whole 2 years and 9 months (plus the rest) that I was there to implement just the brisbane metro area.

But now that the network has been set up and proven to work, it probably won't take that long to get the rest of the state onto digital.

Anything the police can do we can do better :cheers: hehe

Someone will crack/hack or release something that listens to the digital etc

Its just a matter of time, but who cares anyway, if i wanted to hear of constable xxx pulling over a 14 year old for a bong in his bag a 2am then ide watch cops.

as the man was saying.. i think aaron was the one who told me you could crack them fairly easly actually :thumbsup:

the best part is cops will *think* nobody can listen in on anymore :) which is more dangerous than them knowing people can listen in...

i can understand why the cops don't want us listen in, however i think it should be another one of those laws, like why cops without cameria/radar carn't book you for speeding without photographic evidence.

personaly i think that if cops can hide there vehicles and just leave the radar gun/speed cameria sitting out near the road ( and as for the radar signs that they have to have, how many of them have you seen facing the correct way on the road??) Then the public should be alowed to have radar detectors and police scanners.

just my 2 cents worth.

Makes sense, well we were able to avoid an pretty serious accident scene once due to listening to the scanner. Meant less cars at the accident scene and one less car for police to divert .... some times listening into them can be a good thing ....

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.

      That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
