WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

i think you arfe being negative,we all know that there is already another chat room online but whats wrong with another one?,sometimes its best to put up AND shutup My intention was not to be negative, just to point out that there's a perfectly good, functioning chat room already there (and it's be...

why is it ok,for police to respond priority 2 and go through red lights etc. etc yet in a chase situation it is not ok? Perhaps it's because in a priority 2 response, the police are the only ones going through red lights. In a pursuit, the car being chased may be more inclined to take extra risks s...

Hey Guys and Gals.I have made a chatroom for radio scanner users. While not wanting to dampen anyone's enthusiasm, don't forget that the #radioscanner channel (or chat-room if you prefer that term) is always active on the Austnet IRC network. All you need is an IRC client (mIRC for Windows springs ...

when im old enough i will apply and hopefully get accepted (fingers crossed) If you get the chance, grab a copy of today's West Australian and read the article in there since it will affect your application as a younger person... What they're saying is that quite a few younger applicants are being ...

There's no such thing as can't, *especially* when it comes to nerds and people not wanting them to do something. It just depends how many people want to listen, and how badly they want to listen. However there does come a point where the "nerds" will run out of resources. If the encryptio...

I'm split between choices 2 and 3. I think the WA Police should have ultimate responsibility, but there's no reason why they can't have private guards as well. In the end I picked "2"

Yeah... I think read something similar, too. Problem is if we have a big natural disaster etc then we have 3 (or 4 if you count SES) emergency services that can only talk to each other via their bases, and even those talk to each other over the phone. At least the SES and WAPOL have a couple of com...

I think the main reason they want the priority status is so they can get through traffic to attend to incidents on the freeway. Fair enough, that makes sense I guess... This may be a silly question though but can't they just put their orange flashing lights on and go up the emergency lane to get pa...

A couple of months ago I got rid of ye olde Falcon and upgraded to a newer one. So before trading, I got rid of all the radio gear out of the car and it's all sitting in plastic bags in the "junk room" at home. I think it's time to start putting some stuff back into my new car, but I want ...

Well, there's this forum and the IRC channel already... Agreed. In my opinion neither resource is being used as much as it could be, so muddying the waters even further by having yet another forum wouldn't be a good thing. Did you have anything in particular in mind, Scott, when you suggested Yahoo...

... apart from the usual emergency frequencies,public transport and airports,air traffic control etc. etc do you have any interesting frequencys that i can listen to? Depends on what you mean by interesting I guess :-) Somewhere at home I've got frequencies for a couple of shopping centres, some lo...

Hmmmmm tricky. (And a good post/poll by the way!!) I can see arguments both for and against, but in the end I've voted "No." I thought the purpose of the HEROs was to attend breakdowns and that sort of thing on the freeways. It doesn't seem like an "emergency condition" to me tha...
