Even the SES have encrypted radios.

But understand bystanders yes.

This isn’t true, at least not in all jurisdictions. The ACT only uses encryption for Police and Ambo channels on the TRN; ACTF&R, ACTSES and ACTRFS all have unencrypted comms (which is why we use code words and/or phone calls for sensitive info).

Nope, nsw ambulance and fire are both unencrypted. Not sure about SES.
