WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

What is MDT? We use a selcall down here, its a 2 tone system. The same goes with our ambos they will use their radios for case chats.

If you come down to Tassie you can hear the Tas Pol on EDACS still. I'm curious to know what system is used by ambulances in WA and how they dispatch as we in Tassie are wondering what the future of the ambos will be, that plus the fire brigade. We have suspected that APCO 25 is the future?? Also ye...

Generally councils and taxis use that band to send data and have open channels making a "dut..dut..dut" sound.

9740 the BBC WS was off air this morning. Bad enough that they cut back services to the Pacific.

I wonder if they re-used the parts in other planes?

What comms do the firies use in WA? We use analouge low VHF still thou plans to use APCO25 in about 5 years.

I think the features today on UHF CB can stop the rubbish that is sent over the air waves. For 2 way comm you can easily turn on the CTCSS which will stop others. However if your just listening then yes expect the bogans to be on there talking rubbish.

In Australian culture the grand final night is a time where many buy a carton of beer and get drunk. The TPS TAS and SES have all been working around the clock today, however it has only just got started here in Tassie. We have had a female covered in blood at a popular pub in Hobart CBD, complaint ...

I don't think it is a dumb question, it's something that's you need to know!

Oh is it? Not much can be done as it's in a tower shape, the circumfrence makes it impossible to expand, nice to know Tassie has such an old Casino.

The Wrest Point in Hobart is the same as any Casino, went there last night - never win anything so see no reason to gamble. They do not have anything as sounding as nice as what's in Jo'Berg.

I have and recommend the Sangean ATS 909. No idea why such a good radio would RIP, rather sad really. Hope you have good luck. You will like the fact the ATS 909 has a narrow filter to stop the high pitched squeals and a gain control. I never use my ATS 505 since having the 909. Hope this helps!
