just a quick question,

with the career Country stations, how do they turn out and ect? are there radio coms in town with like a mini network, or all done via mobile phone?

Methinks it'd be a call direct to the station from ComCen or a radio call from the District Office.

An SES radio I saw recently had the following channels/frequencies...

SES 1: 459.100 MHz (Input for WAPol Ch31)
SES 2: 469.125 MHz (Input for WAPol Ch32)
SES 3: 459.150 MHz (Input for WAPol Ch33)
SES 4: 459.175 MHz (Input for WAPol Ch34)
SES 5: 457.675 MHz (ACMA lists Nowergup and Bremer Bay)
SES 6: 457.725 MHz (ACMA lists Nowergup and Scarborough)
SES 7: 457.975 MHz (ACMA lists Greenmount)
SES 8: 458.225 MHz (ACMA lists Serpentine and Rockingham)
SES 9: 457.325 MHz (ACMA lists Wireless Hill, Ardross)
SES 10: 457.425 MHz (ACMA lists Walliston)
SES 11: 468.600 MHz (Output for WAPol Ch31)
SES 12: 468.625 MHz (Output for WAPol Ch32)
SES 13: 468.650 MHz (Output for WAPol Ch33)
SES 14: 468.675 MHz (Output for WAPol Ch34)
SES 15: 467.175 MHz (ACMA lists Nowergup and Bremer Bay)
SES 16: 467.225 MHz (ACMA lists Nowergup and Scarborough)
SES 17: 467.475 MHz (ACMA lists Greenmount)
SES 18: 467.725 MHz (ACMA lists Serpentine and Rockingham)
SES 19: 466.825 MHz (ACMA lists Wireless Hill, Ardross)
SES 20: 466.925 MHz (ACMA lists Walliston)
EMS A: 458.025 MHz (Emergency Channel A)
EMS B: 458.075 MHz (Emergency Channel A)
FRS 1: 519.625 MHz (UHF Fireground channel 1)
FRS 2: 519.900 MHz (UHF Fireground channel 2)

While looking for Fireground channels on the ACMA database I discovered that there are no allocations in W.A. for 519.900 MHz and that each Career F&RS station in the metropolitan area has a licence for 519.625 MHz and also 472.075 MHz. I've never seen any reference to that channel before but the licence says that FM narrow (F3E) may be used.
sorry this is an old post, but i was just looking for the UHF Frequency. and you are missing FRS 3 Kalamunda, and FRS 4 Tunnel???(i think that is what its called, i know there is a tunnel question.) so that could be ya other frequency, aslo why is that you cant tune in the FRS channels on scannas???

The radio programming changes from time to time and not all channels will be needed in all areas.

If you're unable to tune the 2 FRS UHF channels in on your scanner, its because the frequency is outside the receive range of your scanner.

(and a belated note, 519.9 IS listed on ACMA database, but a bit tricky to find.. its an Ambulatory (simplex) allocation... http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/licen ... _NO=289007)

They are simplex channels.
They are for inter agency communications mainly between SJA and SES, I haven't seen them in the fire trucks, Police may also have access to them.
Hence your inability to transmit on them.

The new WAERN radios have the two channels programmed. Last I heard Police had access too.

They are licensed channels. Of course you can't transmit on them with a UHF CB!

Country career FRS use the radio which links them via telephone to coms, in the same way coms will contact them when they are off station by dialing into their CCS. They will use the phone in the pump if cannot get through on radio.

The FRS Ch1 and Ch2 are used for special incidents e.g. Confined space rescue or USAR
They are also often used when main channels are busy
hope this helps
