Hi Gavin Yeah I know what you mean. It gets pretty crazy during the callback. Is it true that there is a thing called a direct link - to the repeater? And if there is I wonder why Claude doesn't use it. Just last night I was listening to Ch 8 at around 2145, someone named grumpy copped a beatdown in...

If its ok I just thought I'd start a thread here that has anything to do with the channel 8 repeater.

Anyway I'm Bill and I'm on there alot of the times. Most of the time I just listen.

the above thanks was from me, did not log in.

Channel 8 repeater which is situated at the Capita Building 197 St Georges Terrace PERTH WA.

It's not just about power. Someone living in the city with even a small handheld will 'squash' someone in the suburbs using 25W. It's not about power output, it's about the signal strength you get into the repeater's receiver. That was a big reason why I barely use CB anymore and why I got an amateu...

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any Gov. department of some sort that monitors the repeater channels? Because I hear it is illegal to have over 5 watts, but it's quite obvious on channel 8 (Perth) that people have more than 5 watts output. ****having a whinge because I get squashed all the time ...

yeah, I picked number 2, but I think alot more security officers at night would help if theres not enough Police.
