Wow! And cheaper than I thought this kind of thing would be too.

Re: General fire discussions
Similar, but the one I saw was more curved and definitely had FIRE emblazoned down the sides.

Re: General fire discussions
No problems, It entertains me to see someone get all the gear, then just slap amber on them and not go anywhere in a hurry. If this is a private outfit, they are seriously cashed up. Reckon they could buy their way into red and blue ;-) It looked not unlike this, but white. http://newsroom.airservi...

Good point, I didn't notice. (In my defence I was driving both times I saw it which is why I didn't get photos)roland985 wrote:What about Lights and Sirens? Did it have all red, red+blue, or amber?

Re: General fire discussions
FIRE in big friendly letters. Love the HHGTTG reference ;) It was so surreal seeing such a beast driving casually around the hills, a HHGTTG reference was needed! So noone has any info on it? I believe the Perth airport ones are red, so I'm guessing it wasn't one of theirs. No DFES markings either....

Re: General fire discussions
I just saw a large, boxy (similar to the airport vehicles) white fire truck accompanied by a white LT driving around Roleystone/Bedfordale area. Both unmarked except for FIRE in big friendly letters.
Anyone know anything about them?

Re: DFES scanning
Yep, it's a trap for many to buy one of the cheap Chinese radios and find out later its illegal to use.
Just a word on the Uniden EZI30xlt (happened to have played with one today) - the included antenna is really poor, get a better one though and it works fine.

Re: DFES scanning
There's a 3 page thread in the CB sub-forum on (more or less) this topic, and I'll use Zebedee's quote from the relevant Act: 47 Unlawful possession of radiocommunications devices (1) Subject to section 49, a person must not have a radiocommunications device in his or her possession for the purpose ...

Re: DFES scanning
I'm not here to argue... Nor am I Raptor, but you keep on managing to miss the point which is principally that what you are suggesting is in contravention of the Radiocomms Act and potentially would leave anyone following your advice open to legal action. The take-home here is that the WARSUG admin...

Re: DFES scanning
Matth - you are correct that FarmerJack could do the foundation radio course and then have a license to use some frequencies, however looking at the ACMA and Ham College websites, that would be $184 spent before buying a radio :-) Raptor, whilst they don't actively check every purchase of equipment,...
