424.1000 RFS Hawks Grassy Hill

I can't confirm if they are all active however.

Wiseman's Ferry frequency for HAWKESBURY RFS is not correct according to ACMA

424.0250 Wisemans Ferry -Input 429.3000

420.150 has a different input and appears to belong to the BAULKHAM HILLS RFS

I noticed this TG off Kurrajong this morning being used by RFS.

GL4 is normally used in the afternoon for bus operations in Sydney City. Will be interesting to see what happen this afternoon!

I'm monitoring GL04 and watching the Kurrajong GRN site with unitrunker and the site is constantly full with crews in the field getting busy signals, not a good situation.

The RFS have been broadcasting messages on a number of channels warning crews not to expect the radio system to work in an emergency due to the amount of users. If it wasn't so serious it would be funny.

You're right.

Looks like the P25 frequency for the Hawkesbury area from that site must therefore be 424.025MHz
