Thanks Col,
Most of my aerials on the roof are UHF.The D130j has the whip on top for the low VHF band.
78.775 seems to be the most readable.

John,
78.775 Is Narrow Neck fire tower south of Katoomba.
This site is linked to 77.700 Mt Tomah for coverage of the Blue Mountains park (much larger than the Blue Mtns Council area) so you will hear the same on both.
Not sure of the area's for the other channels of the top of my head. ACMA database will point you in the right direction.

Re: National Parks & Wildlife
Richard,
That there is but they are on a different network to the 78.775 that John is hearing from Narrow Neck.
I'm not sure what area's / parks they cover.
I haven't had the time (I can't hear those sites from home) to work out what is linked where outside of the Blue Mountains system, do you know ?
There was a drawing around of there system I found in the web that explained it all but I can seem to find it at the moment.
There is also a new site at Mulgoa Trig too, seems to be linked to one of the Sydney systems.

Re: National Parks & Wildlife
Col,
Yes you are correct. I thought the question was what sites he would/could be hearing from Campbelltown. The Sydney South network is (or was- I don't know the Highband design) based on Garrawarra Hospital linking to Garrawarra Farm, Mt Keira, and High Range. The Blue Mountains network was Narrowneck, Tomah, Corricudgy (there may have been 1-2 more but you are testing my memory!). Mulgoa Trig was a standalone site but I think it now links into Garrawarra Hospital (at least according to ACMA it does).

Re: National Parks & Wildlife
Richard,
we are getting a little off topic here but I can fill in a few more gaps for the Blue Mountains system
Mt Tomah, Narrowneck, Shooters Hill (Oberon) Bocoble (Mudgee), Coricudgy (Rylstone) and Coolah Tops are all normally linked together, however the system can (or used to be) able to be split in the middle to break it into Tomah, Narrowneck, Shooters Hill as one system with Bocoble, Coricudgy Coolah as the other.
If radio traffic was busy or there was numerous fires this would enable them to isolate the Mudgee and Blue Mountains regions from each other to give some more airtime.

Re: National Parks & Wildlife
ok, I'll ask - has anyone come across their channel plan from a radio...
