Spot on Steve, definitely some AP-3C activity and also quite a few RAN Seahawk and RNZN Seasprite movements too.

It's been really interesting searching 225-400mhz, at all hours of the day and night.

What steps you using steve.

[Steve]

50khz or 100khz will do the job. If you want to avoid various data and radionavigation signals, and your scanner does 'chain search', program five search banks:

230-267
273-312
315-322
335-387
390-400

...and be patient! remember these are AM, too - your scanner might default to FM.

Spotted a P-3 flying quite low north along the coast Swanbourne this arvo.

Are you sure?

Yep, seen by several current and ex military people at the same time.

[helimedic]

Yeah, right that's a 2009 build!

What I meant was it's a new EMS helicopter operation for the Pilbara, which was mentioned earlier in this topic.
