ACMA frequency search: http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/assig ... nge_search put 6000 to 6999 as the postcode for WA only, if you know the frequency but don't know who its assigned too. You can also go to New Search to search for names/sites. If the frequency is listed as 'Transmit' this is what you want to listen too, if it says 'Receive' you don't want this (if its a repeater) as that's the input frequency.

Anything interesting that I've missed (which there will be a lot, this is just from a quick hunt around) post in here and I'll add to the list.

Have a read of the information posted in the links under Public Transport, most are there.
"VKI, NJ050 will you be attending the job?"
"Negative VKI, my desk is bolted to the floor".

Quite a shame that 80% of this information is now incorrect... doesn't give much hope for anyone new looking to get into scanning (despite the lack of)

City of perth, city of south perth, given wilson freq, towies, city's, rangers, even the cse crosscom and trunking aka perth airport etc pages are out of date and incorrect. some of the registrations were surrendered back in 2020.

I've just got my hands on a usds100, I'm slowly getting a code plug together with as much useful and current frequencies as i can, will post it up eventually.

If anyone has some interesting and current registrations reply. cheers
