BLUE MOUNTAINS RFS GONE TO GRN

[kevnerd486]

For over a week the BM RFS have moved from the PMR freq to operating only on there GRN TG.
Apparently due to a problem with the PMR system.
Anyone have any more info?

That would explain why the PMR is dead today... expected more traffic.

It's been like that since at least the weekend

Seems they're using the previously known GD10 TG10037 as you implied

You are right
I can hear them fine on TG 10037 off Horsley Park
Apart from the Mt York fire it is pretty quiet on the Blue Mts Talkgroup
The Clarence/Lithgow fire is on TG 20003

The Kurrajong GRN site is getting so much traffic that it is putting traffic on the alternate CC freq (which it doesnt normaly do)

Also a fair bit of undisciplined radio traffic by some crews ... i have heard several "RED" calls, only for somebody else to talk over them

Seems to be happening all over the place. I'm at home now and on UniTrunker I'm seeing the same overflow on Horsley, Glenbrook, Explorers. Users must be getting 'busies' everywhere. Some smaller GRN sites have RFS channels from Sydney-wide operating off them because of trucks who are responding out of their area keeping radios from their home areas active - no doubt contributing to the problem.
