Sorry if this has already been covered, but I can't find it ...

Do volunteer bushfire brigades use the FESA frequencies?

Welcome to the forum grovecat!

They sure do! You can find lists of the old (VHF mid band) and new (WAERN) frequencies and locations in this thread

Thanks for the welcome, Meg.

Do you know if the south coast brigades use any of the older VHF mid-band frequencies or are they all now on WAERN?

Mostly still on the old channels.

South coast is on their way to getting WAERN repeaters. Albany will be done very soon. Esperance, Plantagenet, Cranbrook and a few other shires are already operating on the new frequencies.
