Probably why I'm not getting anything.

[AIRMAN]

It all depends where you are I guess. I'm not far away from OAKEY. We often get helicopters flying around here as there is an Army helo base there.

$5 gets you into the 'Warbird' show. You can even get a flight in a Mustang......WOW!

Does anyone out there have the 3 airband frequencies used by the QFRS Air Support section? 2 freqs were licenced to the QFRS and the third was a national F-CTAF freq. My scanner died a little while back and I lost all my freqs.

Also, does anyone know if 501T have been set up properly with an airband radio yet? When I did my Air Support course (about 4 years ago) they had a handheld VHF airband radio for use on the F-CTAF freqs. They were talking about installing a 25w mobile radio at a later date.

It was probably installed with the new 501T

132.550 MHz AM is used for Fire Air Support in South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales, so is probably the CTAF frequency.
