WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Just had a thought. It might be a good idea to build a small remotely operable scanner with a 3G modem, battery, and a small solar panel in a case. For things like the fires in Esperance, and other remote areas, all someone has to do is just turn it on and leave it on the roof or in a secure, sunny ...

Eh. Put a mobile scanner onto the 12v system. My pushbike has a 12v main bus.

Thanks Steve Certainly looks like it's an expensive hobby to get set up for the first time. I would hate to buy a decent antenna, cable and amp only to find that there just isn't enough to listen to in my area. :) That's why I got a decent handheld scanner. Plugs into an adaptor at home, or runs of...

Remember, Defence gets a very good budget, so I doubt they'd care too much!

That speed could replace satellite internet for marine use.

Mind you, Ebay is very good about making sure sellers are honest.

Thanks Helimedic, just two quick questions;

Will Rescue 651 be sponsored by the RAC? What manufacturer made the aircraft.

There is a reason that we need that spectrum. In a state of emergency, that infrastructure gets overloaded, and goes down. We need to rely on our own gear.

Good. I'm sick and tired of useless idiots blocking necessary and required infrastructure. The classic optus deadspot in Lesmurdie is a good example. Optus wanted to build a discreet tower to counter a fairly large area of no coverage. It was blocked by elderly residents citing EMF "health conc...

Must be P25 then. Thanks for the answer

Hi folks, I've noticed that SJA VFA's have analog vertex radios. The same as our SES handhelds.

Anyone know what they operate on? I've tried scanning the old SJA frequencies during events like the footy, but no dice.

Nice solution. Stream is better. Great for listening iin dead spots.

Correct. They also are assigning us some VHF channels!

In addition, 6AR/6IP want us to announce our activations/deactivations. You'll hear me as Kalamunda SES PC2 mainly.

Mate, I would say that one big vehicle is safer than 10 ambulances in convoy. And cheaper too!

One vehicle, one driver, 10 patients is a good idea.
