They're hard to get as everyone wants to do the same thing, but they do appear on Ebay every now and again.Sinbin wrote:Hey all i am new here at warsug. I was just wondering if anyone knew where i could get hold of Tait T2020 VHF mid-band for listening to FESA??

If you just want to listen why not use a scanner?Sinbin wrote:Hey all i am new here at warsug. I was just wondering if anyone knew where i could get hold of Tait T2020 VHF mid-band for listening to FESA??

It is illegal to be in possession of a transmitter you are not licensed for.
Granted you are in the VFRS but you can only transmit from one of their vehicles base stations or hand helds .

.. unless you have received approval to have one in your private vehicle. Granted, this is more likely in BFB land and only then, if you have good reason to.VK6ZMS wrote:If you just want to listen why not use a scanner?Sinbin wrote:Hey all i am new here at warsug.

Thanks for the replies. i was hoping to get one just for listening to FRS nd BFB but doesnt look like that is a good idea. any suggestions on what scanner would be a good start? either a portable or base to mount in the car?

Re: Tait T2020 VHF mid-band for listening to FESA
Gday Sinbin, Welcome to the forum. Depending on your budget a good starter scanner for the purpose would be something like a Uniden 93xlt. These are reasonably priced and available at your local Dick Smith's etc. It is a handheld unit and you will find that it will perform quite well in and around town using the supplied antenna. I would recommend that if you intend using it the car that you consider installing an external antenna to the vehicle. I have a Mobile one "Bandspanner" antenna on my vehicle and this provides good reception on the FESA frequencies. You might also consider an external antenna for use at home, quite a few of us have the "SCBASE" antenna from Mobile one and these perform really well. Check this info here http://www.mobileone.com.au/antennas/scanner.htm . These are also available at places like Dick Smith etc. Let us know how you go.
Cheers

Re: Tait T2020 VHF mid-band for listening to FESA
i wouldnt go getting a T2020 due to the fact that they will all be on VHF high band soon.
