The audio on the command channel sounds a bit scratchy?? In "winter mode" the mid-band radio also scans channel 57 (i.e. 6AR/IP command channel) and there are occasional crashes of static from power line noise. The main stream uses a high-band channel and is mostly immune, but today it so...

Simplex 46-50 and 96-99 Highband: (Tait TM8250) DFES ch 102, 110, 112, 121, 128, 133, 138, 139, 140, 141, 144, 153, 161, 168, 170, 173, 206, 221, 224, 229, 234, 238, 258, 294...

Sort of. I think what people really wanted was a completely independent rural service like the BFS used to be but this arrangement appears to be, I dunno, a DFES advisory group..?

Second DFES stream now has 6AR audio (winter mode)

It is working but seems to be under extraordinary load. Will check it out when I get home.

When submitting faults, please let me know what app you're using, any errors etc.

Seems to be ok testing here. What were the symptoms?
