WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

just heard someone go arr.. after 6ar stopped talking to welshpool

New channel allocations are at this page.

Don't expect to hear much from them for a while - Esperance and the Great Southern are the only areas that I know of that have them operational.

Thanks to vk6hgr for hosting the file and pointing it out to me.

Thanks. That'll be handy. Is that a permanent link I can link to in my spectrum Mindmap thingie project?

Check with Gavin. He'll tell you if its permanent or not.

Are all 100 Channels on the Tait radios used. if not what channels are used and there frequencys

Buddah - if you mean the 2020s then yes, all 100 are used. The frequencies & channels can be found in one of the documents shown in the stickies.

If you're referring to the new 8260s they have 1500 channels. Their frequencies/channels are on the new WAERN spreadsheet.

where is this channel list for the 2020's i was looking at one and there are only about 50 different channels? like 55 78.1000 is also 5??

yeah this is the one i am talking about, channels 01 - 45 are the same as
50 - 95. is this right??

There is alot of frequency reuse, using different CTCSS codes. One of the reasons for the new radio network

what is ctcss, do i need to enter them into my scanna?

If your scanner supports CTCSS, then program them in. CTCSS will only open the squelch in the presence of a valid signal and the right tone, which makes your receiver a lot more resistant to interference.

ahh ok then thanks gav.

will FESA be switching across to the digital network??

No plans that I know of.

ah thats good, and hopefully if they do cross over there will be decoders.
