490.450 - tow or motorway?
490.450 - tow or motorway?
Have been monitoring 490.450 which is a Australian Mobile Radio rental channel off Horsley Park.
Captured two different subtones off this frequency.
136.5 - Tow company
110.9 - Motorway patrol ?
Can someone confirm or correct my findings?
Thanks, John.

Theres a new mob running incident control in the M5 in the roadwork zone, buy so far unable to catch them.
Re: 490.450 - tow or motorway?
The conversation i heard was someone mentioning coming down a onramp & stopping behind the car for cover. Could be towies or motorway patrol.

99% of the time there is a 110.9 ctcss carrier pulsing every 60 secs
On one occasion late yesterday i heard the road crew talk for 20 secs
Definitely not towing

Johns original post suggest ctcss 136.5 could be the Tow company

Re: 490.450 - tow or motorway?
Hi all just a quick one gotta get up at 5:00am for work. Driving back from hospital on the m5 through the road works they have a sign CALL UHF CHANELL 11. Had a close call hit on 162.1375 ctcss 127.3 didn't get to hear what was said bloody phone starting ringing at the same time... I will post a list of close call and quick save frequincies I have picked up between Liverpool and Kogarah hospitals over the last couple of weeks when I get a bit more time....
Thanks sw sydney scanner. Using UBCD396T

162.1375-st-127.3 is Veolia Bus Company from Menai base.
Nace I think is doing the M5 widening & they had a frequency around 465.4625 when doing the widening around Ingleburn.

Heard on subtone 110.9 mention of tollgates & "going to a M5 meeting" so it's a good chance this is M5 motorway patrol.

Thanks for the update, ill try and note the actual company contracted to the incident reponse on the M5, was just a traffic control company with appropriate sign writing on the side and back.
