Hello
I'm currently interested in the Meshcore lora based messaging project. I've wanted to deploy some lora repeaters on existing towers like the site below but I'm not sure how I would go about finding the contact details for the site owner?

Our devices are pretty small, usually in a small jiffy ...

Another interesting data point, I heard a whole bunch of cop cars blow past my place with full sirens on, I checked ADSB-Exchange and also saw the police plane leaving Jandakot. I was wondering if it was going to the same place the cars were so I kept an eye on it and as soon as the plane got around ...

I confirmed again last night, there was a police operation in the neighborhood, the helicopter was right over my house and not a thing on ADSB Exchange, Aussie ADSB or my own RTL-SDR Dump1090. As far as they claim those sites don't censor aircraft and my own copy of dump1090 sure doesn't.

I wonder ...

Has anyone else noticed that the police helicopters no longer show up on ADS-B data websites? I just had what I assume was a police helicopter overhead and doing loops but it doesn't show up on ADSB Exchange nor my own local copy of dump1090, perhaps it's transmitting a new standard that isn't being ...

Hi, does anyone know if there is a central radio dispatch control room for the Transperth busses or are they all spread out? The reason I ask is I've noticed a certain set of talkgroup ID's that drivers communicate with often, I've filled it details with what I've overheard.

There have been a lot of licenses moved out of the 400Mhz range in WA to clear the way for the nation wide Harmonized Government Spectrum. So far it's been pretty empty there and one day I saw a WAPOL P25 control channel and traffic channel pop up. Must just be for testing currently as those ...

Hi Dale
Welcome back to radio. Things have changed a bit, quite a few analogue systems have either gone quiet or migrated to digital. Just did a google and looks like your scanner can do digital, P25 at least out of the box, DMR and NXDN however they want you to cough up some more $$, typical right ...

I can pick up Northam repeater on 164.600 sometimes if the weather is right if that's what you mean, it's P25 not conventional.

Hi all, has anyone started building a DSD+ frequencies and groups file for systems in Perth?

This is a good overview of how it works for the curious.

HI
Yes, launches seem to happen around 0715hrs/1915hrs or +15 minutes depending on air traffic from what I've seen.

To track and chase I've used the radiosonde_auto_rx and chasemapper on a pi, but any Linux distro would work a laptop or NUC maybe.

After lockdown obviously.

Anyone interested in hunting and retrieving the radiosondes launched from Perth Airport twice a day? The trouble is the majority of them are currently landing in the bushland in the hills. Most of the roads near by are dirt roads and you'd need a 4x4 to access, and I don't ...

I found a DMR channel that does LRRP

414.937Mhz

It's 4G I'm afraid.
