WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Hi,
Looking for a scanner that can scan all Volunteer Bush Fire channels as well as FESAs 6IP/6AR. The scanner must have a detacable antenna while i can wire into a vehicle mounted antenna.

Thanks

Pretty much any scanner will cover those channels
78Mhz Mid Band (existing network)
163Mhz High Band ( WAERN )
468Mhz UHF (ex WaPol/SES)

the Uniden XLT series scanners will do the job fine, though ICOM, Vertex ect all do the same job, maybe a bit better audio quality.

though the uniden scanners only have 100/200 channels depending on models.

Thanks nra555 i went to WACB and worked that im going to get a ICOM IC-R5.


Need to find out how to get all the FESA and local government fire frequencies.

Hi ben
A search of the relevant forum topics should turn up the frequencies you are after. Have a look here to get you started, http://warsug.info/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5454 and feel free to ask questions about anything more specific you cannot find in these topics.

Andrews communications has the ICR-6 for $299.And the IC-RX7 for $399.Not to say the ICR-5 isnt agood scanner.I have one and its as tough as any electronic item i have ever owend.

I got the Icom IC-R5 with a 3ft whip mounted to the boot of my vehicle and it works like a dream
