Hi Guys,

Just had Rescue 65 doing laps of my area for the past hour or so, looking for an old lady. Couldn't seem to pick it up on the usual aviation band (108-138). Can anybody enlighten me in terms of what I should be tuning in to?

Cheers

Best to listen to 6AR for updates.

I just happened to look at the flight tracker and was wondering myself why it had done dozens of orbits of the bush. I'm going to assume Polair isn't available (does Rescue 65 have FLIR?)

From what I could see (no lights shining directly on it) it had some pretty bulky equipment on the left side with 3 red lights around it. Possibly it? It's flown off now in a NE direction, can still faintly hear it (it's a beautiful sounding helicopter).

She certainly does have a FLIR

last time i checked, the air band was 118.100 to 135.950

and Resque 65 can be heard on 118.10, and 135.25 depending on opperations... i dont know the freqs they use to call base

Yeah my bad, just going on the outdated lists on the back of my scanner.

Thanks for the freqs Nafenn
