Re: RESCUE 65 Observations

Rescue 655 just flew over Quinn's rocks heading south anyone got any info Well, Rescue 65 flew over :wink: , it flew to Jurien Bay at 5:30pm for a traffic accident. I also saw it fly overhead on the return. One thing about Rescue 65 is you can hear it approaching long before you see it. An unmistak...

Re: getting tracked

so i was wondering, if someone uses a CB radio from America, and it is using a different frequency, (not 476-477mhz), but not a frequency that anyone in the area uses, no police, no companies and no emergency channels etc. Then who would report them, and how the hell does the technology work that a...

Re: VH-FOI Surf Life Saving WA new AgustaWestland A119 Koala

Any ideas on who'd go to a water rescue. The SLSA chopper or rescue 65? Is there some sort of MOU as to who responds to what? Well, SLSA, Rescue 65 and WAPOL were all involved in the search I took the photo of. I only managed to get SLSA and Rescue 65 in shot at the same time. VH-FOI was there beca...

Re: Polair 64 changing hands

I took this last Saturday at Jandakot Airport.

Polair64 was being used by ATC so I took a photo. :D

I assume it is the new one, but no signage.

Re: interesting army 4x4s

I'd say these ones are part of build-up training for the next rotation to Afghanistan, as Adelaide based 7 RAR is due to go over next. They were farewelled last week so maybe they have already gone, unless the families said goodbye and they went into further training before departing. http://tinyur...

Re: Random Youtube finds while at work

Could be listed in the unbelievable category. Spoiler Alert: they fail and it is how the Police handle the situation right to the end of the video.

Re: Yaesu FRG-7

Have you tried all antenna connections? From memory there were a couple of connection points on the rear panel. One was for low frequency (under 2MHz, ie, local AM) and another for shortwave. Also just in case the connection points are not working try connecting the wire to the centre "hole&quo...

Re: Yaesu FRG-7

A FRG-7 was my first purchase when I got interested in radio. As robbage said it is not a radio with memory channels so you would either have to turn the dial or sit on one frequency. Perhaps something that has computer control like one of the many SDR's around would be more suitable as you could st...
