If your scanner allows 12.5 kHz steps then select that and try again, otherwise you might be out of luck

Hi folks. First post...

It appears WAERN Channel 141 (Canning Mills - 164.0000) has gone silent. Not surprising, as I haven't seen it on any of the metro comms plans. WAERN Channel 371 is the current 6AR channel for that area and can be accessed on 163.6750Mhz.

Cheers

Yes 306 was operational however 238 was still heavily used. We also setup 83 mid band.
