RFS VHF Frequencies

Post by Farsouthscanner » Fri Dec 11, 2015 9:13 pm

Hi all
The Bega Valley, and I presume Eurobodalla, are going to be using VHF radios for fire ground comms and talking to CFA and CFS.
I should know this but I can't remember what the freqs and channels are for RFS VHF comms.
Can someone help me out.
Thanks
Mark

163.3875 PL 110.9 Repeater 2

163.5500 PL 110.9 Repeater 4
161.1500 Fireground 1
161.0625 Fireground 2
161.0750 Fireground 3
161.1125 Fireground 4
161.0875 Fireground 5
161.0375 Fireground 6
161.0125 Fireground 7
161.0500 Fireground 8
161.1875 Fireground 9
161.2125 Fireground 10
161.2250 Fireground 11
161.2375 Fireground 12
161.2500 Fireground 13
161.3375 Fireground 14
161.3625 Fireground 15
161.3750 Fireground 16
161.3875 Fireground 17
161.4125 Fireground 18
161.4500 Fireground 19
161.4625 Fireground 20

They wont be using the CFA channels in the radios, unless they are RMR enabled. The old analog CFA PMR is switched off.

No worries at all.
Looks like you got a Simoco there and a old one at that, there is a few more fireground channels now, 30 now from memory. Note too that fireground has no sub tone (for some unknown reason, bit silly i feel)
We had a new cat 7 turn up about 12 months ago with a VHF TM9100 in it with all the channels above plus the new NPWS channels. I recently spoke to my local RFS Operations manager about what the CFA had done re radio systems and he was making enquiries.

This is supposedly new info that brigades are getting, you would think they would have all channels listed. Could be an old info sheet re distributed though I suppose.
