Maybe NOT.

Look like Link frequencies - only 5 watts - Vertical polarization at one location, Horizontal at the other.

When I went to Firecom (23rd December 2009) they said they were looking at getting a link system set up in the tunnel because the trucks couldn't communicate within the tunnel. So there would be like a repeater on the end of the tunnel and that would transmit to another repeater who would then take it to Firecom.

This may be what it is or it may also be under the QFRS licences.

Both these licences have been around well before the tunnel construction had started i am not one hundred percent sure about it. plus from what i read the Clem 7 Tunnel is rebroadcasting fm radio couldn't they just rebroadcast others aswell

Hey Phil - if you cough up the money - they will rebroadcast the station of your choice ....

On the emergency side of things -

Radio re-broadcast system to enable tunnel operators to broadcast messages over a vehicle’s AM or FM radio band

so even if you are listening to Slim Dusty - looks like you may get your favourite song interrupted..... either that of there will be a dedicated freq for messages to be broadcast over ..... (prob the latter)

As for the Emergency Services - i am sure they will have that all set up within the coming weeks - as i am sure there will be a bit of testing/familiarisation that will occur before opening as (and we all know how good brisbane drivers are...) it wont be long until the first bingle in the tunnel (whatever the reason)

Hell i give it two hours and there will be one

[Rohan]

careful you might get some bookies trying to place betts on it good odds on the 2hrs being right tho

[Phil]

seriously since the 14th of December 09 the Brisbane Metro Area has had a total of 785 Incidents

[Rohan]

all that road rage down there lol

[fireviking]

the qfrs will be using portable vhf radios for the tunnel.

[mstrkrft]

it'd be good to know the QFRS and QAS Clem 7 repeater frequencies when they are activated does anyone know how we would get them?

[bodyguard]

maybe we would use our scanners and scan for them

[dags]

put your scanner on close call and go for a drive up and down it a couple of times before they start chargining a toll i think it is going to be toll free for the first 3 weeks

[Phantom]

Bump - bringing this back to the top...

As the tunnel "should" be opening within a week - any update on freqs that are known for use ???

[dags]

i will drive through it when it opens up with the close call on but only while they charge no toll i wont use it paying 4 dollars something they can go jump

[Phil]

Hell I will keep an ear out as I love 2 minutes from the tunnel and I may do the same put the scanner on cc. Have noticed that tunnel has own response unit and tow truck

[Phil]

The following is being rebroadcasted throughout the tunnel

QAS
412.5500
413.1500

QFRS
465.4000
466.9250

Rivercity
412.6000 - Response Units

[Phil]

The Antenna that they are using very directional is used for links mostly
