WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Seems a bit funny hey, PTA Transit Guards (Westrail Security Guards was back in the 90's fella) have similar powers to police but yes they are not Police Officers. WAPOL PTU do have access to the PTA Transit Radio Network as PTA Transit Supervisor has access to and a callsign for the WA Police Radio...

Ok so they have two radios on the Police band, that would bake sence.

As the Transit Guards have access to VKI, the Police Transit Unit have the Railway Security radios in their vehicles. You might find they have CDMA in the ROG and MIG cars. Not realy sure what the second antenna could be for.

That could be the case Fastlane. I didnt get the rego, I just saw and heard it take off right obove our heads. And I heard control say on the radio that a priority 1 medical aircraft was taking off and for all aircraft to standby.

I can see the rockingham vans wanting to claim for Travel Allowance to take a body to lockup.

It is a dirty old smelly place but you take dirty smelly people there so who cares. I think they want to move it to Curtin House.

Oh is that the 501 car thats always parked in the exit gate for EPLU?

Tango Kilo.

Did you go through the old Mayland Acad mate?

No it appeared to be more of a back-up unit. The RAC chopper was in the shed. I would say they need two units so that if one is out of service then they have another one to use. Because they are on call 24/7 they need to always be available for a job.

More info for you scotty.

I was out at Jandacot Airport yesterday, they actually have two helicopters. One is the obvious yellow RAC chopper and the other is a red/blue and white chopper fitted out the same as RAC1.

When we were taxing back from the runway it took off over out heads.

I hear that they are going to place a few more specialist unit behind the new VKI in Midland.

ROG are the UQ100+ cars.

Police Transit Unit are UQ200+cars.

Mate its available 24/7. It is staffed the same as an Ambulance Station.

Calm down people, this is a scanner forum........not a polictical forum.
