I column has RX - which is fine, and a second that says TX - are you able to listen to the TX frequencies ??????

The RX frequencies (for the police, in the 458Mhz range) are the frequencies that the repeater listens to the cars on. If you can hear a car on the RX frequency, then he must be really close to you.
The repeaters transmit on the TX frequencies (468Mhz). That is the one you want to be listening on.

Thanks vk6hgr,
I was wondering what the difference between RX and TX was too.
I've got the RX freqs on my scanner, but now Im really confused about the differences between them!

They're not all that useful for scanning...radiohead wrote:Thanks vk6hgr,

I've got the RX freqs on my scanners. What would you use the TX list for?

Yep you're right, radios and repeaters use the TX and RX frequencies in different ways.
This is probably best answered in the FAQ section of the forums. I'll try and put something semi-coherent together later tonight.
