Admittedly my scanner is struggling reception-wise a bit today, but then I'm indoors on the ducky antenna. However 6IP seem to be really struggling to hear the appliances calling in. Is it a new operator there? I imagine it would be a nightmare to work there on a day like this. Very stressfull! At ...

im just wonderin what the frequencies are for Rockinham volunteer sea rescue cheers I live near Rockingham but dont seem to pick them up. When I go out off rockingham, I normally log on with Mandurah anyway depending where I leave from. Mandurah 27meg is pretty active on channel 91 (27.81) for log ...

Up here from Upper Swan to Bullsbrook, Zone 2A is everything east of the Great Northern Hwy. Automatic bomber turnout! Much the same as here - I think anything east of Darlington is zone 2. Not so many tiger snakes up here at least - all I ever see is dugites and they will generally get out of your...

yeh we have zone 2 response areas around here. not 100% sure of where but i would guess the swamps maybe a good guess. The Swamps are not officially zone 2 response but expect your pager to go off if there is one in the swamps, even tho the 2 big ones are not in your area, you will be there smithy....

This is one of those topics that can go round and round for ages :) There would also be merit in saying that why respond an LT to a DBA?? In the case of Perth, why not make DBA callout Perth 1st Pump and Perth 2nd Pump and leave the LTS behind unless required?? Idk?? There are that many different sc...

chrisss the 1.4 does not have extra crew as it is a trial vehicle but ive heard that it is a piece of snot in regards to urban fire fighting in the way of access to fires and its 4wd capability so crews would rather use the lt Saw them using it a a scrub fire last friday, thought to myself what the...

I have a Uniden UBC-T9 Scanner installed in my ute. DIN size made it easy to fit under the CD player in the Hiulx. Have fitted an external speaker (cheepie from DSE). 250 Channel, Close Call, Preset Fire, Ambulance and Police (Thats handy, not) and Marine, UHF and Aviation Bands. I have a mobile one...

Cheers for that link

Well worth a look at and some pretty cool shots on the slideshow.

Provided you have a good enough antenna and close enough to a FESA repeater, you should be able to pick up anyone on the repeater network when they have the link switched on, no matter where you are. Its purely a matter of selecting the right channel nearest/ clearest to you at the time. Like last ...

I have seen a few wierd topics over the last few years I was at unit but nothing that comes as close to that. Thats Gold

You dont really appreciate how much a fire can change given the right factors. Thats why burns like the one you did Helitak_670 and other controlled burns are probably the most valuable training you can get if you have not experienced much fireground activity. I think some/most brigades/shires enfor...
