WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

ahk
thanks guys thought it might of been something like that.

I was picking up Kalbarri on Ch 71 this morning.

Why cant i pick up the ground freq (ch 96).Do you have to be in the area?

Its simplex, so limited range yes.

What is happening on channel 56 at the moment?

who uses channel 56? (what region)

I'm getting a lot of noise over the last 25 min.

BTW I was in Eastern suburbs when picking this up.

thought I'd check channel 6 and it is there also, so must be freq related.

Channel 6 is the repeater in Lancelin from memory.

Does anyone know the WAERN repeater that is linked to CH16 (old) in the Perth area?

I've been hearing helitacs recently saying they are operating on ch16, since my scanner won't pick up the old 78MHz freq I'm trying to find the WAERN repeater that is linked.

The closest repeater to Perth that I can find in the ACMA database that uses 78.2375 is in Jurien - surely that's too far for use in the metro area.

Ideas?

Outer Metro South-Pinjarra region, according to an old list I have of FESA allocations.
Hope this helps.

Just heard the helitacs nominate WAERN Ch 363 (161.175 simplex) as a 'tactical' frequency: they're using it for aircraft-to-aircraft comms.

I just noticed the WAERN pdf contains some additional repeaters, channels 371 - 380. Anyone know if these are 'live' and what if any of the old repeaters (mid band) they link to?

I also noticed there is an extra simplex channel, there may be more changes I haven't noticed.

does anyone have frequencies for wannaroo area?

Two second search brings up this.

They are "live" as you put it and link to the old channel e.g. 372 is linked to 54 in Bunbury.

I also noticed there is an extra simplex channel, there may be more changes I haven't noticed.

Even more WAERN channels are reserved for future use in the program. If and when is another story though!

Ive been picking up 6IP/AR on 164.112Mhz Up Near Northam I have read somewhere it is listed as clackline anybody have any idea if that is the repeater location?

Thanks.
