No the stainless steel whips on the codan hf auto tuner are not the same as the vhf. 1x800mhz antenna = gps tracking only ( for metro) 2x800mhz antenna = tadis/tadis light and vehicle tracking ( metro) Because the country vehicles use tadis light through the telstra next g network (and are not gps t...

Sorry to raise the dead, just wanted to clear something up. WAPOL have 2 divisions for comms RESU (radio and electronic support) run by public servants who are there to maintain the radio system, repairs, installs. The other team ( mental blank on there actual title) are sworn officers ( most come f...

Hahaha spend millions on 1 radio network only to then pay motorola 40mil to build another 1. I know it probably all comes down to budgets but i mean not long after WAPOL went digital st johns metro installed there tait digital system and now fesa want to jump on the band wagon. It would make sense t...

I could not help but laugh years ago when i heard just how they were going to try and develop this system and implement it. Having worked in comms ind for a long time and delft with vollies there is 1 thing i know and that is to keep EVERYTHING. Simple. I mean why complicate things when the folks ar...

Your post just above from July, apparently there are some new comers? Just wondering how they all went and who they might be.

FYI Still not up yet I have used it in the past and it is very handy.

The country digital network is continuously growing. word on the street is.. Kalgoorlie looks set to be ready for action in the not to distant future and by mid 2013 Karratha and surrounding areas will be too. Fit out all the major country towns then working on the smaller areas. in a few years time...

Any news on how the folks went?

Earlier this year i bought a Ex Tas police 200 series Cruiser and i must say this would have either been in a real small town or the bosses care because its far better then any of the cars i seen and worked on from WAPOL :) The only issue that could be found is the breaks are close to replacement. U...

To fire up an old post :D One of the smallest setups iv had. But works just fine Icom IC7000 on the left, Simoco SRM 9030 VHF for 2m/Fesa/Work and the Yaesu FT950 with the Headset. (grey laptop is connected to the FT950 with the PCC-950 radio software package with the Audio in/out connected so i can...

Anyone know what the final outcome was?

I became VK6DF October last year. I upgraded from the Standard license with the previous call of VK6NDT (which i originally got as a Novice with 10wpm back in 02) I didnt go down the usual path but upgraded by doing the RPL (recognition of Prior Learning) being a Communications Tech for 10yrs and ha...

as soon as word got back to the RESU Team (Radio and Electronic Services Unit) that radio gear would be bricked.!! would been 1 hell of a job, i use to install and remove that stuff for a job and there is ALOT of cabling involved.

Channel 7 has been relocated from Pinjarra to a house in Mandurah area.
According to the ACMA site its now licensed or a site in Collie, whether its been located there or not im not sure. I dont live in Perth any more.

If anyone gets keen you could always try and hit VK6RTP Tom Price on 146.625/146.025. Nice long tail and courtesy tone so you can tell the difference between it and the Wanneroo Repeater.

1130m ASL I have had one confirmed Hit from Perth lets hope for some ducting
