I had 487.525 listed to STA in 2008 but a search of the acma now shows it listed to Master Communications at Horsley Pk running mototurbo.
Interesting what you find when you remove the subtones from your radio profiles.

After a bit of listening time I have been able to capture some of the new subtones for the existing 485-486mhz channels.
485.575 - st-162.2
485.725 - st-156.7
485.900 - st-127.3
486.450 - st-156.7 - dispatcher
486.500 - st-107.2
494.325 - st-192.8 & 107.2
New channels confirmed active:
470.100 - st-141.3
470.950 - st-118.8
472.7625 - st-179.9
472.850 - st-118.8
473.3375 - st-192.8
473.4875 - st-192.8
473.5875 - st-186.2
473.750 - st-136.5
474.0625 - st-136.5
Some of these new channels transmit simultanesly with 485-486mhz channels.
If anyone can confirm any of the other new channels or new subtones for the existing channels then please post here.
All existing 485-486mhz channels still show registered to STA on ACMA even though I have found some to not be active since the new channels have been introduced.
