Sydney area Taxis

[cartman]

This is a list I have been working on a while
There are several omissions particularly those taxi companies on VHF and UHF MPT trunking.
I did make some attempt 3-4 years ago to work out who was who on MPT, but got distracted and never finished it
Also over the years i have heard a number of taxi companies on the fringe urban area eg Springwood Taxis, another taxi company at Bowral and even a taxi company at Richmond operating off the Vertel 500Mhz MPT1327 system at Kurrajong Heights
I will add these when i put my finger on my notes and confirm the frequency, CTCSS tone and that they are still operating
A word of warning however - these "fringe" operator frequently use the interconnect facility with the public telephone system to take incoming calls
One should cease listening at that point.
(Before anybody starts up on the subject I think we have recently exhausted the discussion of the matter elsewhere)
Obviously I would appreciate feedback on CTCSS voice or data information for any frequencies you can hear in your locale.
Several of the sites i cannot hear due to my geographical location (mostly in the Blacktown area)

Grant,
Have been capturing CTCSS for my list,will compare & send you any that you don't have.
Btw there's a taxi company working out of Picton on 163.825 (st 146.2) which is a rental from Major Communications off Razorback.Not sure if it's Tahmoor cabs but two other users share this channel as well.

John.

[matthewn1983]

Theres Camden Cabs, and Tahmoor Taxis. If i remember last time i was in the Tahmoor mercedes bus, they had data tones audible on their channel. Both have very similar signage as well.

[criten]

CTCSS for Katoomba is 123Hz - a little fairy tells me that their frequency will probably disappear in a few years time as they migrate to computers and the mobile network.

[freqwaves]

taxi company working out of Picton on 163.825 (st 146.2)

Quick flick through my local Yellow pages shows this cab company to be Camden Wollodilly Cabs.
Also what systems do the following cabs use as you haven't listed them above.
Silver Service Taxis
St George Taxis
Lime Taxis
ABC Taxis
South Western Cabs
RSL Cabs - (I did have them listed in the 488mhz range but a check of the ACMA db does not show them here anymore)

John.

[system_tech]

Silver Service I think are on Fleetcoms

[matthewn1983]

Hmm, just doing some reading on CWC.
Camden Area Cabs is a member of the Buslines Group which includes Picton Buslines and is one of New South Wales’ largest bus operators. Buslines Group is a name synonymous with high standards of service. The taxi service operates from Picton Buslines, which already services the Camden and Wollondilly areas with school and route buses.
The CAC Depot is located at 20 Hill Street, Picton.

Btw there's a taxi company working out of Picton on 163.825 (st 146.2) which is a rental from Major Communications off Razorback.Not sure if it's Tahmoor cabs but two other users share this channel as well.

Might explain the multiple users on that channel, ill have to keep an ear on it, the same drivers that used to drive for Tahmoor District Taxis, are now working for CWC or CAC how ever they want to be called.

There's also another mob that come up as far as Campbelltown called Southern Highlands Taxis who also have busses and hirecars as well.

[freqwaves]

That explains why one day I heard them talk about picking up school kids.The channel is shared with their buses,not sure if it's the same subtone.The other subtone I have not identified the user on is 151.4.
Subtone 110.9 is a Electrical company.
As for Hire cars the following is what I have found from past years,not sure if still active but these are rental channels.
162.800 - (st-103.5) Legion Hire Cars (Alexandria)
473.850 - Limo service (Aust. Mobile rentals off Chifley twr)
473.950 - Budget Limos (Vertical tele rental off Syd Twr)
488.350 - Ambassador Limos (Two way radio rental off Syd Twr) seems to have data bursts.
507.225 - Limo company (Aust. Mobile radio rental off Syd Twr)
