G'day Kimmy.

Hopefully you have had a good read of the site and have noticed the threads regarding the WAPOL service not being able to be scanned any more. If not, have a bit a of a read.

Air frequencies are quite busy. You will find a lot of information in the Aviation area. But for a rough start try searching the range 115Mhz - 140Mhz AM band with 25Khz spacing. Depending on your area you will get to hear something.

I am sure others will point you to other areas.

Why not head over to the General area and introduce yourself and tell us what your scanner is?

What do you want to listen to, Kimmy? Many of the services have their own section on this site and frequencies are available in their section (eg Ambo, Fire, Air, Transport etc) Taxi is definitely boring in my opinion :-)

Is this the same person who posted about 2-3 days ago with a very similar thread, complaining that they could only hear taxi's?

Deja-vu or have I lost the plot?

I can't find the thread I was thinking of, so it is indeed very possible that I have lost the plot - and if I have, then I apologise in advance :oops:

I'm not sure how far north you live but you can hear the PTA transit guards (on the trains etc) on 418.300, the tower is in Joondalup.

If you are not close to Joondalup then have a look in the public transport forum on this site and you will see a list of the other repeaters that are closer to you.
