National Parks & Wildlife
Re: National Parks & Wildlife
A lot of npws information became known several years ago when they were tendering for comms companies to maintain their regional vhf 78mhz radio networks - the information was available to the general public on their website. The radio network was shown as a series of schematic diagrams

Re: National Parks & Wildlife
Starting to see a fair bit of use on the new 160mhz band from NPWS, couple of sites have become active in the last 2 days.
162.40000 241.8 - 'wollongong base'
162.32500 241.8 - garrawarra
162.35000 241.8 -

Re: National Parks & Wildlife
I was just wondering if there might be an ulterior motive for the move to the higher band, or at least a convenient side effect...
Moving to this band allows NPWS to make use of dual-band radios (like the Motorola APX7000/7500), allowing them to have both their own VHF network and the NSWGRN in the one radio.

Re: National Parks & Wildlife
Got a hit today for 162.35... didn't manage to get the CTCSS however it was a helitak talking to oberon base... I was hoping to get a hit from narrow neck... close enough
Re: National Parks & Wildlife
Not much low band stuff out there these days. The change to VHF Mid would be ideal to talk on RFS fireground ?Bigfella237 wrote:I was just wondering if there might be an ulterior motive for the move to the higher band, or at least a convenient side effect...

Re: National Parks & Wildlife
I am getting them on 163.4375, CTCSS of 241.8 from Mumbulla mountain near Bega
Edit: also hearing them on 163.925 with the same CTCSS tone from Mumbulla. The two channels aren't linked though.

Re: National Parks & Wildlife
I've got a list from circa 2008, but it only has 70/80MHz (low) channels, not the 160/170MHz (mid) channels that are showing up. If you think it may help I'll post the info here.Wonky wrote:ok, I'll ask - has anyone come across their channel plan from a radio...
EDIT:
Actually, no point me posting - virtually the same info is on RR: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=3215
Appears the low band net is gone, replaced with the mid band net: http://www.acma.gov.au/webwr/_assets/ma ... ritage.pdf
