How sensitive is VHF?

[d3funct.q45]

My local 6AR repeater at work is 78.1125MHz, however my scanner only will allow 78.1100MHz or 78.1150MHz...

I dont hear anything on either, however it may just be a quiet day?

Is VHF like a car radio, where you will start hearing static at around 93.4-93.9 and proper tune at 93.7?

Or will I only hear something at exactly 78.1125, and nothing else will be picked up at all elsewhere?

Maybe try 55 78.1000 6AR Metro South (Canning Mills)
or
51 78.0500 6AR Metro Coastal (Claremont)

At home I use Canning Mills no problem, unfortunately I work in Waroona, so Pinjarra is my only option.

Some scanners need to be set for a different channel spacing when entering some frequencies, and some others just don't support 12.5KHz spaced channels properly. What model is your scanner?

Try channel 80.
