Trunking Gold Coast

[alinco21]

Hi,
I have noticed that the 865 -869 MHz band of the trunkning network here on the Gold Coast has gone quite (dead).
the control freq 869.6125 is still active but no voice. Has all parties now gone to the digital trunking?

It appears that way.
I was at the Gold Coast back in early August, and most of the Peninsula Building frequencies had TETRA signals on them, and the only Motorola Smartnet stuff was the Control Channel.

bugger - thanks.

Basically the same thing is happening in Brisbane, with SysID 000A on Mt Coottha now quiet, and SysID 183A sounding decidedly 'sick'.

SysID 0A15 Pinkenba (Brisbane Airport) is still working, the last time I listened. And the 400MHz system at the airport is going strong.

looks like I'll have to get a dig scanner that covers the Ausi Trunking bands.
the BC785D that I have is the US version and has the blocked Cel network which is our trunking bands

works get on the rest of the stuff.

Don't be in too much of a hurry. There is currently no scanner available that will decode and trunktrack a TETRA system.

And an Australianised version of the 396XT and 996XT is supposed to be available before the end of the year.

Also, there are rumours afoot that Uniden is developing a scanner that will handle DMR Trunked Radio (Digital Mobile Radio Tier III - or MOTOTRBO, as Motorola prefers to call it).

Hi Commet,
sounds great we will just play the waiting game now for a few months.

Cheers

Comint is there a 400MHz Moto system at the airport?

OK, never came across the control channel when I have done some scanning at the airport. Had a look through 410 - 430 on ACMA and checked the usual sites around the airport, but didn't turn up anything that looked like a trunking system, do you know the frequency of the control channel??

[Comint]

. . . do you know the frequency of the control channel??

464.3250 MHz

Interesting, a QANTAS system, will have to head down and have a scan and whack Unitrunker onto it.

Thanks comint.

Thanks comint.

Have you ever tried TRUNK88 for monitoring Motorola systems? A lot more User friendly than UniTrunker IMHO.

Think this is it from the ACMA website (the bottom five freqs):

Radio Platform Qantas Maintenance Hangar Pandanus Ave BRISBANE AIRPORT

Think this is it from the ACMA website (the bottom five freqs):

And those frequencies, and other relevant information, is already posted in this forum.

Oops! Thanks Comint. Was my poor attempt at responding to the post above about being unable to find anything on the ACMA website. Now that I'm looking at it, it was an old post anyway.

And with regards to trunking on the Gold Coast no in Brisbane
