More newbie questions

Post by Brett »

OK so i have a group scan and want to put in the most relevant channels but i seem to come across so many different police channels that aren't listed. I assume these are channels for member to go direct.

Basically whats the channels / freqs that are the ones to really keep an ear out for instead of scanning all the freqs.

Don't forget channel 46/54 - East Metro :-)

The ambos use a voting system - all their repeaters transmit the same thing. So it's just a matter of using a band search between, say, 412 and 414 Mhz and finding the strongest SJA repeater for your area.

I'm mainly around Rockingham to mandurah as I work there and live in Port Kennedy so it's good to have the sourthern areas covered. I also do a trip to Margs every month or so as well.

in that case you'll need these too.
**Police**
channel 16 468.2250 Rockingham
channel 17 468.2500 Mandurah
channel 23 468.4000 chit chat
you might not get channel 26 down that way or it might be weak. but they use ch23 down that end of town as well.

Sorry Gav missed those ones :oops: :lol:
