Hey guys,
I’m wondering what the transmit frequencies for the Queensland GWN are.
The Radioreference database shows the band plan is between 416.4625 and 420.000 MHz and has a truckload of control frequencies between 420 and 424 MHz but I don’t think it shows transmit frequencies. And yes I know the GWN is digital P25 and encrypted - I’m just interested in knowing what the transmit frequencies are.
Thanks and cheers.

Re: Queensland GWN transmit frequencies

Thanks RA but I was just wanting a simple frequency range that’s all

ALL the frequencies shown are Transmit frequencies.Grunter1 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2019 8:07 am Hey guys,

The frequencies shown in Red or Blue are the Control Channels. The others are the Traffic Channels (where the actual conversations take place).

Re: Queensland GWN transmit frequencies
are you asking for the transmit frequencies of car/handheld radios ie uplink to repeater ?
, or tx from repeaters ?
Uplink frequencies are around 426mhz ,
Tx from repeaters are slightly lower

Re: Queensland GWN transmit frequencies
Just to clarify, there is no such thing as repeater uplink frequencies. The correct terminology is:
BTX - Base Transmit and BRX - Base Receive. Also MTX - Mobile Transmit and MRX - Mobile Receive.
There is a relationship in that BTX = MRX and BRX = MTX. It would make life easier particularly when talking about repeaters to use BTX/BRX. Most scanner users are only concerned with BTX frequencies.
When talking simplex, use MTX/MRX. Even though the frequencies are the same.
Also don't fall for the myth that BRX frequencies are not encrypted, they are. I have in my time heard many stories about how encryption can be beaten by listening on the BRX frequencies. The people conveying this information should start by saying "Once upon a time..."
