WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Hi all

I don't suppose anyone knows if Western Power use radios and if so, what frequencies in the Perth hills area - Mundaring/Gidgegannup/Chidlow ?

Our power goes out pretty frequently, and I've always wondered what the techs are saying when they come out to repair and what the faults actually are (I imagine there's a fair few branches in powerlines at fault though).

Thanks

More specifically what freqency do the Emergency Responce Officers use?

It looks like Western Power have lots of stuff assigned to them...

I think the ones we'd be most interested on the ACMA Register of Radiocommunications Licences are the "Land Mobile" assignments.

Even so, there's still lots of those as well...

I have spoken to the wwestern power guys and it seems that most of their comms are done on mobile.

I think that's a bit dangerous... mobile base stations need power too and their range is limited compared to radio.
