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?

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.

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

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.
