QPS Location based scanning
Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2015 8:10 pm
My wife has given me an ubcd396xt with a Garmin gps, not sure why but I am enjoying it. I have been looking through past posts and I found your comprehensive QPS channel list this is after I have mucked around with the ACMA site trying to compile QPS QAS QRFS. \to start I am going to concentrate on QPS.
I live near Emerald and i seem to get some two way conversations from Winton, Longreach, Blackwater and some Rocky QPS but also get a lot of one sided conversations from the "control room".
Ive seen comport1’s QPS list, “Nice” and would like to have the list coincide with location and groups/ regions change as I drive around, so I can hear the whole conversation not just one way.
My questions are;
Where do I find the main repeater locations?
Do I find this information on the ACMA site?
If so what do I need to look for to determine if a site is a repeater site or not.I don’t really want to load 100's of antenna locations, just the main towers so I can use the location to center the area and set an area radius if I can get away with it.
Any thoughts or directions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
