All of Ayrshires watches are still analogue, quite a bit of 446 and 449 activity too in places in the bigger towns.

Ayr has moved about a bit over the years. I suppose with 2 channels it would be 2 licences, if it's 1 channel, 1 licence and cheaper. I was getting serious pager like bursts when it was on 453.8375 now it's in the clear all the time.

It's not the busiest pubwatch, only really on a Friday and Saturday is there anything.
