For those interested, Swan Taxis have 2 radio channels (or Query Channels). They are: 488.6250 & 489.5000.
However, the voice from the drivers is blocked to each other so you can only hear the radio operator.
The static "glitches" you hear every now and then is the sound of the operator clearing a taxi's computer head after a "no job", this allows the driver to accept a new job.
Also, the radio channels above are for several fleets. Swan Taxis, Yellow Cabs, Coastal Cabs, Tricolour Taxis & Mandurah / Pinjarra Taxis. Occasionally you will hear these fleets mentioned.

These are the repeater input frequencies. You'll likely hear the drivers on these, but you'll have to be quite close:numloxx wrote:These are the freqs registered to Swan Taxis.

Been listening to 489.500 which I think is Swan Taxis. Far out! They would have to employ the rudest radio operators I've ever heard... "Shut up! I'm talking!"

Re: Swan Taxis Frequency
What does it mean when they say "no job" or "recall" ?
