WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Yes it's only a click and you need to have the squelch off at least at first. Make sure you have FM selected.

Thanks for trying guys, really need users near the big WA ports.

Here's what's happening near Sydney http://aprs.fi/?lat=-33&lng=154&mt=m&z=8&timerange=3600

and Brisbane http://aprs.fi/?lat=-27&lng=155&mt=m&z=8&timerange=3600

Gday Derek,

AFAIK ships over 300t are required to have their beacons on all the time.

Please tell me about your set up and I might be able to help. G.

Gday, I am looking for radio enthusiasts with access to sites near the coast in WA to receive and share ship position info using the VHF AIS system. It can be done with a scanner/ham/marine rig http://www.discriminator.nl/index-en.html with software http://www.coaa.co.uk/shipplotter.htm or right up ...

Anyone near the coast with a scanner and a pc with sound card can do AIS.

The scanner probably needs a simple discriminator tap mod:

Gday, Just found your post :) I have AIS receivers set up on the Queensland Gold Coast and in Sydney, currently feeding via VK2HIM. See maps of Gold Coast and Sydney here http://aprs.fi Would be keen to see a station set up in Perth and share the data worldwide. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto...
