G'day
I've recently moved to Perth with the Aviation Rescue Firey's and want to set up two receivers (or one, if such a thing exists) at home to listen to Perth Ground VHF (121.700?) and our stations UHF channel (500.050 I think) at the same time. I live only two kilometres from the tower so I'm hoping I won't need anything too elaborate and don't need full scan capabilities. Are there any "Jaycar like" kits that I can solder up and build into a nice stack with a power supply, amp, speakers and roof mounted antenna ? Any help would be most appreciated. [-o<
Thank you

Home based UHF & VHF receivers?

Re: Home based UHF & VHF receivers?
I am fairly sure the ARFF use APCO P25, which is digital.
If so, you can forget about any kits for that side of things.

Re: Home based UHF & VHF receivers?
We use Tait TM9155 units which, by the looks, are capable of operating APOC 25 but not sure. Can I buy something off the shelf to receive it or do you need special licencing/approval? I have a FROL but I doubt that's relevant??
