WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Does'nt seem to be any other shortwave radio listeners out there, no replies in over 6 months ?

The Coppers here in Bunbury use simplex quite often in the CBD between themselves or to the Base, i can usually hear most of their transmissions althought alot noisier, they seem to use simplex when they are on foot walking around town. Been getting strange full signal hash sounding transmissions he...

fyi...

I do have their frequencies in my scanner, but have'nt heard much of late then again i'm only listening randomly due to work and sporting commitments so there maybe times of the day the channels are more active than others ? The fisheries frequencies i previously mentioned were just an example of th...

Thanks steve, Was aware of that, however there are frequencies like for example the Dept of Fisheries use 494.975 Mhz or 168.225 Mhz that cannot be found using any postcode search, when you bring the frequency up on it's own they are listed as Western Australia and are a simplex ( non repeater ) fre...

Thanks Fastlane, I've always wondered why the ACMA website has never listed that site for that frequency for the last 10 years that i've been checking on it as i knew it was none of those given. I will email them today and raise the question, it was the same a while ago for the GWN TV channel 3 that...

Gavin, do know where the site is for 78.1125 Mhz ? it carries metro fire traffic and puts a good regular signal down here into Bunbury, the only listed sites in our part of the world for that freq i can find on the ACA webite is Lancelin and the stirling ranges and i doubt it's either of them, i gue...

I wonder also if some users here are having trouble with intermodulation from strong fm radio stations causing desensitivity and sporadic triggering and timming out of repeaters like the QRM i get in the 78 to 79 mhz band here in Bunbury as some of the local FESA channels are within 1 to 2 klm of 50...

Noticing on the ACMA website new FESA allocations on the vhf-hi band have entered the local ones in for my area but have'nt as yet heard any activity, are FESA moving to these from the vhf-lo band or are they additional channels to the current ones, they all seem to share the same sites as vhf-lo so...

I've been using a scanner user here for about 20 years and since the local SJA all moved to the 78.650Mhz to 78.7625Mhz band i rarely hear any action now, no where near as much as i used to. The Busselton SJA are quite active on 474.775Mhz which is also linked to a Capel channel on 412.750Mhz Do hea...
