I just noticed the WAERN pdf contains some additional repeaters, channels 371 - 380. Anyone know if these are 'live' and what if any of the old repeaters (mid band) they link to? They are "live" as you put it and link to the old channel e.g. 372 is linked to 54 in Bunbury. I also noticed ...

What is happening on channel 56 at the moment? who uses channel 56? (what region) I'm getting a lot of noise over the last 25 min. BTW I was in Eastern suburbs when picking this up. thought I'd check channel 6 and it is there also, so must be freq related. Outer Metro South-Pinjarra region, accordi...

Collie have their new Country Pump (CP17 I am told) and learning how to use it this weekend.

Bunbury Career I am told will now not get their new UPH or UPHR (debate has started again on naming) until June or July.

Hey All. Just wondering what people are using for antennas on their Handheld radios? Looking for a replacement antenna for my VX7R.. so many to choose from. I guess the only thing I'm avoiding are telescopic antennas as they are way too easy to break. Prefer a dual-band antenna (2m/70cm). Seems to ...

Does anyone know where Helitac 682 is currently and wether its still down south. If it is down south does anyone know when it finishes its contract and heads back to perth. It would be great to know because if it is still down there, i'll drop by when i head down South According to a FESA circular,...

UPH maybe UPHR as in Urban Pump Heavy Rescue?? otherwise I've got no clue. Correct. With work locations I cannot always get online, let alone this forum, so response may take a while at times. The word is (Will be confirmed in due time) that it is abbreviated to UPH rather than UPHR. Like all thing...

I notice that TTL3 has been operating out of Perth Station (as Perth TTL) for the last few weeks. Does anyone know where CLP1 (Perth CLP) is? Or what has happened to it? Heard a rumour that it is in workshops - but cannot confirm. Collie is scheduled to get new CP next week. Bunbury careers schedul...

Those waiting further up at the road block wer...

if i had the money i would buy one of the Oz Jet 737's and convert it to a wather bomber fire fighter, i reckon it would be the best thing for WA Big is not always better.
