WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Hi all,

Can someone explain to me why radio reception is usually better at night.
Also, when I'm tuned into a base station like a trunking system, why does it fade in and out with static all the time, if neither the base or my scanner are moving? This occurs after sunrise...

Cheers

Don't have any base stations, but my 2 mobiles are:
Yaesu VR-120D and Uniden 245XLT Trunktracker.
The Yaesu is used mainly for anything where smaller is better, and the Uniden but anything trunk tracking or general use.

Please place all June 2008 sightings here.

Cheers

Hi all,

A new group on the airport trunk that I have not heard before.
Group ID 752, I reckon it might be Virgin/Aerocare?

I believe the decision to Evac was made by the Feds, after control of the Airport was handed over to them.

I have deleted the irrelevant posts.

Please keep this thread on topic.

Thanks

Not really, because some sightings are not over the city?

Reports of road closures are false, you can walk through [except for the stockexchange]

Did you see the times?
They definitely were closed!
