WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

412MHz area is St Johns where theres roumoured to be very very limited P25 transmissions (I've never heard a P25 transmission on there). But is St Johns encrypted? Yeah it is, all I've heard on there is encrypted garble but apparently there are P25 transmissions which are very very limited (reporte...

I just program them into a conventional system and they work fine (I believe both frequencies are simulcast so only 1 is needed) Also if you do a control channel search in the 500MHz region you'll find encrypted WA Police, at the 485MHz area is encrypted Federal police and at the 412MHz area is St J...

Great choice of scanner 500.825 and 500.050 are the only unencrypted P25 systems I know of at the moment

Someone bought one of these today, comes with data cable but no software like the old 396T! On the website it states you must search the Internet yourself for software. :smt017 Apparently freescan works well for those interested. I have one myself :D they are an excellent scanner but not much diffe...

To search/set the NAC code go to the channel options and select "set audio type" then select "digital only" and that will take you to the P25 NAC Option. There is no real difference in enabling the NAC options, it's just like entering a ctcss/dcs code.

I would never of guessed that he was a 63 year old, a bit odd to see someone of that maturity to be committing such crimes

Great vid Fitzy.Could u tell me what NAC A5A is.Mine comes up P-25.Thanks Cheers NAC I belive is the Network Access Code for P-25, its sort of like a ctcss/dcs code for analogue systems. I programed these frequencies into a conventional system instead of a P-25 system so I think thats where the dif...

Ok so I seem to have it working good for now. Here is a link to a video I took of a fire drill taking place at Perth Airport (scanner audio) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JNtK7EKxGM

They may use the same frequency as the transperth security (489.400) because they are both run by Wilson. They only operate Friday and Saturday 12 am to 6am so best to have a listen in around then.

I've been playing around with my new ubcd396xt and stumbled across the Perth airport fire tender (air services Australia) which operate on 500.050 and 500.825. I found out that they don't use a control ch so I programmed them into a P25 single freq system. I put both freqs into seperate sites and fi...

Well I guess that answers that, thanks guys

Both the ubcd396t and xt models have a feature called tone out mode which searches a frequency for 2 tone sequential/single/group paging tones. I tried doing a tone out search on a number of FESA freqs but with no luck. I'm just wondering if this feature will actually work here in Perth or if it's m...

Why don't they just change over to P25 digital instead of TETRA? Does P25 cost too much or are they just worried about the security of their communications?

For those of you who have digital scanners, the airport fire tenders are on 500.050Mhz and 500.825, both are unencrypted P25 (can be quite interesting at times)
