Spent many, many hours on IRC back in the day chatting with Frank about radio scanning.

You'll be missed, Frank.

It's pretty easy. There's two main components: 1. A Radio along with a good quality antenna. You can use a RTL dongle using RTL-SDR, which is cheaper, but the set up is a little fiddlier. 2. A computer running streaming software. Broadcastify.com is the go-to destination for the stream, and they hav...

What are the actual frequencies you've programmed in?

Have you checked activity on the frequencies in our list:

Can't help as I live too far away, but Transperth Railway operations is still analogue and is available on Broadcastify.
