scanSydney

So for the first time in ages, I have picked up a scanner and had a bit of a play around.

After fiddling with the search function on my PRO-668, I am hearing, what appears to be people reversing trucks or similar. Lots of "keep coming, keep coming, whoa! whoa! WHOA!! stop it there! NIce.. one..."

A quick search on ACMA reveals nothing in NSW for this frequency - does anyone know what it is?

Cheers,
Matt

Matt,

That sort of transmission would more than likely be a crane at a construction site. As to who it is, cannot help there.

Could be an Australia Wide allocation or perhaps an Eastern States based Trucking Firm doing Heavy Haulage - though they would more likely use UHF CB

There is nothing on that frequency with an Australia-wide allocation, just 7 other licences for WA, NT, Qld and South Australia.
It would not be the first time somebody is transmitting without a licence
There is a bus company on the NSW north coast who is currently transmitting on their old frequency without a licence for many months if not years
Hmm PRO668 - couldnt recall that one so i looked it up on youtube .... it can upgraded to DMR via whistler software by what i read

Just heard them key up after about 3hrs of silence ... Sat 2.49pm 8/7/17
I am at Liverpool receiving it at full strength and i was on the scanner supplied aerial (as opposed to being hooked up to a outside aerial)

488.175 162.2 one of the users had a callsign of "330" and was talking about pickups and dropoffs. Appears to be a group tour operator possibly around the City and Eastern Suburbs

Could well be a Qld based company doing work in NSW ?

They are running through a repeater, which has to be install in a site somewhere in Sydney.

Either way, regardless if its a QLD based company operating in a different area, they still must be licensed for the area they are currently operating in!

Hi Matt,

Can be heard out here in the Hawkesbury but not very strong. Also seeing 162.2 tone.

I have this listed as Hopkinsons Bus (488.1750 162.2Hz). Maybe they are doing rail replacement bus runs for Sydney Trains this weekend??
