ACMA Radio Inspectors

Post by cartman » Sun Apr 19, 2015 10:12 am

Although I have been aware of their frequencies and have even sighted them driving around in their 4 wheel drives with a roof covered in aerials, I have yet to hear them, until last wednesday. Hear them is a rather loose word ... it was digital encryption that I could hear. Two users engaged in a nonstop conversation that lasted at least 20mins. I figure maybe somebody in the Chook Band (UHF CB) was about to get a visit.

494.7500 Tx Lucas Heights, P25p1, DESOFB, NAC: ACA, Key ID and Radio IDs noted

In Sydney (and the frequencies are the same throughout Australia) the ACMA use:

493.6250 Tx Warrimoo
494.4250 Tx Tower 3 201 Sussex Street Sydney
494.7500 Tx Lucas Heights

My trusty tapped 796 Uniden scanner + WinDSDv2 and DSD+1.51 were used to monitor

Probably an academic exercise in logging this as I figure that they will be shifting by the end of the year into the new Government band

Well, they only got those nice new Tait TB9100 repeaters less than a year ago.. so it would be a great shame for them to move so soon!

Cheers,
Matt

Down in Victoria their frequency that runs off 101 Collins Street is used for P25.
