Considering we're in the public transport thread... I don't think westrail use them

Those are the frequencies they use, I think what the OP was after was the tactical callsigns they use... Delta 6 etc.

Yep, but the VHF-lo band antenna is used for communications with Edsec

Also, I now know why some cars have two UHF antennas. Some cars have an old Motorola Syntrix (the one with the brown remote/microphone) and a newer Tait T2020. The T2020 can do scanning and TX on UHF CB and all sorts of fun stuff, whereas they leave the Motorola on their district's channel. Interest...

Any photos of the simulation village? Action shots?

Nah, it was very hard to get a look in... just too many people

We'll find out tomorrow

I'm taking my funky new digital camera so hopefully there'll be a few pictures up here soon after.

Multanova operators ...

Well... I wouldn't call it a system. Channel 26 is just a well-situated repeater in West Perth that can be accessed through most of Perth. In Freo they use Channel 23.

Some people have all the luck!

What's with the cars having the dazzle paintjob? I would have thought TE cars would be best being unmarked, or at least, low profile.

That would be a simplex channel (ambulatory in ACMA database speak). To hear it, you'd have to be within the building itself.

Make sure you dont get something that is low-band VHF only though, because you'll have to throw it out in a few years - FESA should have a new radio network by then, using UHF and high-band VHF instead.. Ohh... most antennas left outdoors don't last too long anyway. 5 years tops and they've already...

A normal whip antenna is meant to be bolted to a car or other flat metal surface (pergola roof...?) Just curious - does it have to be attached to a *flat* metal surface? Our verandah roof is metal, but at a bit of an angle. I'm more interested in VHF for listening to the fire stuff (I'm in one of t...

hey, i am currently looking for a good antenna for scanning. (i only use UHF though) i dont really know much about the setup and coax cable but if anyone could explain what i need to would be great. my budget is 100 bucks. If anyone has some suggestions it would be great. thanks. If all you listen ...
